I'm stuck trying to trace the Furber family if anyone can help-James Furber mariner married Harriet Amy Wadham[born 1817 Poole] in 1844 in Bermondsey -They had 3 children ,the first two boys died as infants at Poole-Their daughter Louisa Mary born 1854 Poole I think could be on the on the 1861 &1871 census,there is a Louisa born about 1855 Dorset but could anyone check if her birth is Poole? Also after that I can find nothing of Louisa or James -Harriet I think is in Poole in 1881-Any further pointers would be appreciated

Thanks so much Keith and Alan -you have found her on the Royal in Scotland with her Mother Harriet Amy -I have only been doing Family history research for 20 years ! and of course I assumed they would be on the England census so it just shows that you must never assume anything -I will now take this lead to find out more -Thanks again Heather
