Alexis Robb to George Furze
« on: Tuesday 26 February 19 22:59 GMT (UK) »
My great grandmother Alexis Robb born in Premnay Aberdeenshire 1859 and died in Romford in 1950.  She had at least 8 children including my grandfather Ernest Lewis or Louis Furze and her husband is shown as George Furze but there appear to be no marriage records for them at all.  I suppose it is possible that they never married but I think that would be unusual for that time in history.  Is there any reason why their marriage record is not traceable?

'I suppose it is possible that they never married but I think that would be unusual for that time in history'

not unusual for some of the families that I have looked at.
Have 3 generations of unmarried mothers in one lot.

Children from England or Scotland?

I am assuming all children born in England as George Furze was was the London area

No Furze marriage or births on Scotlands People

First child appears to be George in 1883 Fulham

They are shown as from London.

The 1911 census will give years of marriage (actual or claimed) - have you found them there?

Looking at George’s birthdate on the 1939 register there is no birth reg for him on freebmd.

Possible 1861 has him with parents George & Ellen in Farnham Surrey

Having done some more research today his birth date is probably 1857 Farnham Surrey as shown on the census and the marriage year is shown as 1883
