An elusive family member, from Ellesmere
« on: Sunday 09 March 08 01:44 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for EDWARD THOMAS FURMSTON, Baptised 20.09.1841 at Ellesmere.
This is the only record I can find.
His parents are Edward F & Sarah, both dec 1849 & 1852.
Siblings Ellen  (Dec)
Walter (dec)
John Ambrose (Draper on census
I have all of his family sorted & confirmed but Edward I am unable to find, I have searched to no avail.
Maybe someone can help me
Thanks' Judy

As Sarah only died 1852 - is this him in 1851 or a different family.  Siblings Walter and Ambrose and Sarah is a widow

Hello Carol,
Yes, this is him, I should have said I have him on 1851 census, but, no trace of him after that.

Hiya Judy and Sue

I think that one you found Sue is the one I thought it was but these Furmston/Firmstone lot are a bit confusing

I wonder if he emigrated? He would have been nearly 21 by the 1861 census

Hi Willow & Sue'
This death could be a possibility, but with nothing else to go on it's hard to be definate.
Yes, these furmstons are confusing with all the different spellings! However I have done well so far.
 
I am fairly sure he didn't immigrate,. I'm surprised I can't find him on census, or a marriage that fits, but then I am fairly new to all of this, it could be smacking me in the face.
I'm surprised I can't find him on census.  or, Maybe like many of the other family members he died very young (pre 1861)
Thank you for the input

Judy
