Nancie Elizabeth Furber - living in Abingdon in 1925

[ellenmaggie]

Hello, can anyone help me find out where Nancie Elizabeth Furber (nee Cooper) was born.   

I have found date of birth for Nancie - 9 August 1886 - from an incoming shipping list from Durban, South Africa arriving in Southampton on 2nd September 1955.  When Nancie arrived in 1955 the address given was Catmore Farm, Catmore, near Newbury, Berkshire.  She died in South Africa according to another tree in 1966.  Sadly there is no birthplace given for Nancie.

Nancie Elizabeth Cooper married Montague Richard Furber on 18 January 1917 at the parish church in Goring, Oxfordshire when she was 32 and Montague 40.   Her father is given as William Cooper.   I believe Montague and Nancie had three children, Rosemary (Sheila?) Furber born in 1918; Patrick Richard Montague Furber born in 1920 at Goring and Kenneth A Furber born in 1923 at Bradfield in Berkshire.   I have an electoral register entry for Nancie and Montague giving their address as Alders, in the parish of North Moreton, Abingdon, Berkshire.   I haven't been able to find them on the 1921 Census - maybe I am not looking in the right place but various attempts have drawn a blank.   I haven't been able to find a birth record on BMD either but will still keep looking.

Can anyone shed any light on where I maybe able to find her birthplace and her mother's name.

Many thanks   Ellenmaggie

In the 1901 Census Annie is recorded as Annie E Coope . She is living with her sister and brother in law in Porthmadog. In this transcription her sister's married name is incorrectly transcribed as Horewell - it should actually be Newell. Her brother in law is John H Newell, ( The H is for Holt). Subsequently he became a clerk in holy orders. ( Note Mary Anne's place of birth as Kelton).

This is John Holt Newell in 1911

He then moved to Suffolk and a daughter Bronwen was born there in 1914.

There is an incoming passenger list on Ancestry for Bronwen Holt - Newell in 1944 age 30 - her address in the UK is given as Catmore Farm, Catmore , Nr Newbury, the same as in your opening post.

Further to the above ( and apologies if this is all a bit convoluted but it has been an interesting search!).

Bronwen Holt Newell married Cedric Kearley in 1944. She then travelled to Philadelphia in 1946. Note on the attached record she names her Aunt as Mrs F Smallbone of Catmore Farm Newbury.
 Mrs F Smallbone is I believe Rose H Cooper, sister of Annie Elizabeth. Rose H  Cooper married Frank Smallbone in Faringdon Berkshire in 1917.
