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.Sometimes paranoia is just having all the facts.

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.Alma

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
