Dinah FURBOROUGH is identified as the mother of William WEAVER, the founder of the building company, on his birth certificate.
She married William WEAVER, a tailor, at St Marks, Kennington, London in April 1836, one day after gaining a license from the Vicar-General of the Archbishop of Canterbury. An Alice FURBOROUGH who gained a similar license and married in the same church in October 1837 was her sister. Her parents were Thomas FURBOROUGH and Dinah BROWN for whom she was named. Thomas a shoemaker made provisions for Dinah and William WEAVER in his will.
It is possible that Dinah met William while working in London, possibly a shop selling shoes made in Leicestershire. Such a shop did exist earlier in the century run by Farborough and Dawson at "51, Borough", although Joseph Farborough, the proprietor, had died in 1810. Joseph was from Lutterworth and it is very likely that there was a family connection.
William and Dinah had four children. Her maiden name was later used as a middle name for a grandchild.
Dinah died of 'Decline' on 30 June 1845, about one month after giving birth to her fourth child, Susannah. She was 35 years old.
The Ambrotype photograph of Dinah must have been taken after the advent of photography in 1839 and before her death in 1845, that is unless the photograph is an example of post mortem photography. The Victorians became almost obsessed with death, and photographs were taken as momento mori (death keepsakes). It's very possible that a picture of a young mother would be made for her infant children who would otherwise not remember their mother. The image has been attested as consistent with post-mortem photography.
