Find Ancestors

hi i have found out that louisa jane furnell was born on the 13 oct 1888 and was born in warminster wilts,she died aged 82 on the 5 jan 1971,can any one help with any more info

Was Furnell her surname at birth? Reg

Is Furnell her married name or maiden name?

F C Looking at Ancestry, I have a feeling it was her name when she died!! Reg

Hi Reg, as birth places on censuses are not always right it may be this one? Will need to know if it's married or maiden name though Maria?? 1901. Edith Furnell abt 1885 Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, England Daughter Barcombe Sussex Emily Furnell abt 1845 Tisbury, Wiltshire, England Wife Barcombe Sussex ...............> Louisa Furnell abt 1888 Batheaston, Wiltshire, England Daughter Barcombe Sussex Reuben A Furnell abt 1846 Tisbury, Wiltshire, England Head Barcombe Sussex William Furnell abt 1880 Eastmarton, Wiltshire, England Son Barcombe Sussex

F C.........I do agree about birthplaces etc, but until Maria comes back I'm not looking any further. Reg

yes it was her birth name,married name was wordley

Maria, Do you have her marriage certificate with fathers name?

How do you know what her maiden name was ? Have you got her marriage certificate ..... or a child's birth certificate ? Elaine ;-)

Seeing the name Wordley jogs my memory. There's a lot of 'stuff' on here about the name.............perhaps Maria could nudge the appropriate thread............ Reg

Her DEATH certificate does indeed state that she was born 13 October 1888 ....BUT ...that information is only as reliable as the person who gave the information. She may have added a couple of years or lost a few, during her life time. (She wouldn't be the first) You need her marriage cert ... to confirm her fathers name, his occupation and (hopefully)her age at marriage. Elaine ;-) Who did she marry and when ...?

I have just looked on FreeBMD from March 1885 upto and including Dec 1890.... for BIRTHS Apart from: June 1886 looking as if it MAY be incomplete (Now know it IS complete) and Dec 1887 and Dec 1889 missing completely ... Louisa Jane Furnell's birth is NOT listed between 1885 - 1890. All other qtrs are COMPLETE and available. I will check the missing 3 qtrs on 1837online ....but with regards her being born Oct 1888, its not looking good ! .... unless .... she was a Gypsy ? I'll be back shortly Elaine ;-) Just a thought ....... was the Wordley marriage her FIRST marriage or second ? June 1886 is COMPLETE on FreeBMD ... last entry is James Furnell Dec 1887..there are only 3 Furnell names ... she's NOT one of them Dec 1889.. there are 7 Furnell names ... she's NOT one of them. If she was born between 1885 - 1890 she was either a) NOT Registered b) Not registered Louisa Jane

I don't believe it: FreeBMD has just thrown this up: Marriages Jun 1912 Furnell Louisa J (Wordley) Warminster 5a, 319 YOU NEED THIS MARRIAGE CERT. OK. Births 1912 - 1920 1 Wordley Edward E (Furnell) Devizes.5a 168 Birth Dec 1912 2 Wordley Maud R (Furnell) Devizes.5a 158 Birth Sept 1916

Well done, DD.........now Maria can get the marriage cert and find the fathers' names etc......... Reg

Here you go ..... seems the ONLY possible explanation ...... Births Mar 1892 Furnell Louisa R Poplar 1c M40 Her BIRTH cert will sort out a few problems ! Have checked 1837online .. the entry is added at bottom of page (extra)..... and the reference does read M40. Don't think this is her now ......... sorry
