    Default Furlong family Portsea

    I have been searching my family for a number of years from Ballarat Victoria (Aust) to Cape Town Sth Africa and now to Portsea/Portsea Island Hampshire.
    My 3 times G father George Frederick and Eliza (Phipps) Furlong lived in Portsea.
    A son Frederick George F left the UK for Cape Town and married Martha Johanna Caroline Borgstrom 10/11/1851. They had a son George Frederick and moved to Ballarat late 1850's.
    Any information from Portsea and/or Cape Town would be very gratefull as I have found our relatives in Australia also searching the same.
    Thanks in advance

    All born Portsea

    I know that George Fredrick Furlong's death cert in Australia says his mother's name was Eliza Phipps but it is possible that this is incorrect. My OH's auntie had her mother's maiden name completely wrong on the death certificate.
    have you looked in to the possibility that she may have been Eliza Reeves who married a George Furlong 15 Feb 1823 at Gosport. This record is on familysearch.org

    Hi Alma and Snap
    I have moved the thread to the Hampshire forum

    What a pity young Kate appears to have been born too soon to have her birth reg on the new GRO index. That would have solved the question of Eliza's maiden name.

    Steve where did you get the name Phipps from? The only marriage I can find has Eliza as Reeves, maybe she first married a Mr Reeves and was a widow when she married George Furlong?

    Thank you, Christina Yes, it is a pity there was no child born after Sept 1837. I did wonder if Eliza was a widow when she married George Furlong but I've not found a first marriage.

    My 3 x great uncle died in Australia and the wrong mother's surname was entered on his death cert. It was the name of his grandmother, not his mother.

    Thanks for that info. Is there any record of Frederick George F that you know of?
    How would I order certificates?

    Thanks for all the info. It has always been known here in Oz that Eliza was a "Phipps" but can always be proven wrong. you have listed Eliza married to George F in 1923 at Gosport. Is it possible we talking about two different people? My Eliza and Geroge were married in the 1800 era?
    Do you know of a Frederick George F who moved to Cape Town then here in Oz? He was born abt 1800.

    Thanks

    Sorry that was a slip of the finger. It should be 1823. I have corrected it on my initial post.
