help finding....

[Adi1962]

Joseph Furminger b. abt 1837 Bredhurst.

1841 Census HO107 456 b14 F4 P2 indexed as Fenninger born Kent.

1851 Census HO107 1618 F72 P3 - Ancestry has him indexed as Firmenger born London

Cant find himon 1861

1871 Census RG10 946 F70 P4 indexed as Furmyer born Kent.

There is no evidence to suggest his family were ever in London, so birth place should be Bredhurst, Kent.

Can anyone find him in the 1881 census or beyond, or find a death entry ?

As you can see Ancestry have gone out of their way to make him as difficult to find as possible and i've been going a bit  looking for him.

Thanks
Adrian

There is also a Mary Ann FERMINGER 7 visitor b.Bredhurst

I found this death entry


June 1912
Milton, 2a/1067
Joseph Furminger age 75

Looks promising - Milton is in Kent and the age is about right.

Yes, that does look promising.

Adrian, take a look at Joseph age 64 b.Walworth in Rainham, Kent 1901 RG13/808 folio 108 page 8

Hi Cas

That's very interesting on a few levels.

If This Joseph is not the only there could be a link between the Bredhurst family and this one..... also there is a Furminger / Eldridge marriage within this family.

Having hit a brickwall in my Boxley/Aylesford family due to records being destroyed in the civil war, I started to look at other Furminger's in Kent and try and trace them back to my group. This group link to a Boxley member which was exciting to find, but a potential link to a group outside Kent is  great.

Thanks

Farringer !!!!  you can see why I go  . I have been researching my family name for years and I still find new varients.

ok this is getting scary now.

This suggest a possible Furminger / Eldridge marriage before the one I know about. Maybe if I can tie the two Eldridge groups together it will look good.

Thanks

Hi Jen

Yep very promising. My grandfather and great grandfather we both living in Milton/Sittingbourne at this time. Be interested to find out where this Joespeh is buried as he is not with all the other Furminger's in Sittingbourne and have not seen him at Milton.

This is well worth a death cert.

Thanks
Adrian
