Hello Lisa, great to hear from you

Hello and a warm welcome to Rootschat!

I am a Furnival by marriage, so not directly related however I have managed to do some research into the Furnival family with the earliest Furnival (I have found so far) being John Furnival in 1739 and the earliest Hayes - Thomas 1838.  I would be delighted to share info with you, I think you will need to post a couple of times more and then we can share by PM if you wish

Kind regards - Angie

Hi Angie,

I’m also popping in on your post; sorry. I’ve not researched my Furnival ancestors too much as I have a number of distant cousins who have extensively done so, but my Furnivals were also from Runcorn at the same time as yours (and later, Warrington). However, I believe Furnival was a common surname in the area. My Warrington Furnivals are the ones who lost their tannery in an 1838 fire that “was seen for twenty miles around” (according to one report).  Might “your” Furnivals be the same ones?

Possibly not, but I thought I would just ask.    Thank you, Lisa

Hi Lisa, I will have to have a look at the Furnivals and come back to you if I may as I will need to check a few details

Chat again soon

Hi Angie,

I’m actually currently researching my Stuart ancestors but I didn’t want to ignore your post.  So, there’s no rush to reply.   

A bit of background…I know Runcorn is mentioned in my records; however, Warrington is most prevalent.  I have a John Furnival (born c1735) who died in 1820 in Warrington. His descendants were George (born 1771), John (born 1799), George (born 1826).

I have additional details about these folks and their families.  I’ve not checked in quite some time to see if any of the above has changed over the years.

Thank you, Lisa
