Looking for Furby family from Carshalton.

[wilsonhepple]

I'm trying to find some history of the Furby family?
The family moved to Carshalton from Edinburgh, Scotland in the mid 1880's.

Thanks for any help.

Hi there...nothing in 1891 or 1901 springs up immediately.  Do you have some first names you could let us have?  Are you looking for details of their time in Edinburgh or in Carshalton?  Thanks, Dazey

The only Furby's i can find in 1901 are in Mitcham, literally just down the road from Carshalton

Hello,

Thank you for the replies.
Actually the only other information I have is of a son,  Peter Furby.
He was assigned to the RAF during the war (not sure which war) as a Russian Linguist.
Not much to go on I'm afraid.

I've also found a Mrs E. Furby living in Mitcham in a 1925 directory
