 New Zealand        America               Canada               Australia

For the time being I am going to list the individuals/familes that emigrated, the date and place.

Perhaps later on I will expand on this or maybe just link to their individual pages.


The first known Furminger emigration was in 1841 to NEW ZEALAND

Samuel Furminger b.1794 with his wife Sarah and their 9 Children.

The headstone inscription reads:

So far I have not been able to find if they had any children or not. What happened to Mary Jane is also unknown.


David Horace Furminger born 4th August 1851 in Brede and died 19th December 1926 in Hamilton, Ontario

Emigrated to CANADA after 1881. With his wife Phoebe STACE and 3 children.

It seems they were in Canada sometime around 1876 as their first child was born in Canada but returned to the UK.

Their 2nd and 3rd were born 1877 and 1881 in Brede. Two further children were born, both I believe in Canada

Their family consists of:-

Ellen Ester born 1876 Ontario and died 23rd February 1911 in Strabane, Ontario - She married James Addision GREY and had 5 children. Olive Christina Stace GREY, Mary Fawcett GREY, Ellen Addison GREY, Jean Elizabeth GREY and Grace Barbara GREY.

Henry Horace born 14th December 1877 in Brede and died 8th April 1926 in Hamilton, Ontario - He married Amelia Jane CONWAY and they had 4 children. Henry Harold, Clarence Conway, Wilfred Stace and Gordon Russell.

Leonard born 1881 in Brede and died 25th November 1905 in Hamilton, Ontario - Leonard was not married.

William W born abt 1886, I presume in Ontario. I currently have not further information on William.

Cemetery records also suggest there was another child that must have died either at birth or very soon after. The records do not show any name or details.
