Elizabeth Furmston born Wem 1763 my 6th great grandmother
« on: Thursday 12 February 15 11:02 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I am looking for information regarding the above and her family. She married John Fox in 1789 and I have Parish records for this marriage and her birth, showing her father as Edward Furmston, shoemaker. If anyone can help me to discover anything else about the Furmston family I would be very grateful
Many thanks

Hi,
My Elizabeth was baptised on 29 December 1793 with father listed as Edward, Shoemaker.
I can find a marriage of Edward to Catherine Eabrey on 7th February 1762 and there is a daughter, Elizabeth, buried as you say 6 January 1763 and also the daughter of Edward, Shoemaker.

I have been speculating that the latter Elizabeth was the second daughter and named after the infant that died but am wary of taking the plunge and confirming it my tree and was hoping to find a definitive answer. John Fox whom she married was a cordwainer which seems to tie Edward with him as a shoemaker.

Thank you for your response, I think I'm heading in the right direction and will add them and another daughter to the tree .

These should help. Many Furmston's.

Thanks for those, I'll study them later and see what I can find. Cheers
