Narrative and Notes

It is thought that Robert's father was William FURBOROUGH, a weaver, of Frolesworth and the author of a 1725 will in which he left £120 to his five children: Anne, Elizabeth, William, Richard and Robert. The ordering of the names implies that Robert was the youngest and therefore born 1722-1725. William died shortly after writing his will in June 1725.

The 1732 will of his uncle Robert FURBORROW, weaver of Frolesworth, left money to only two of the children of his deceased brother William: Elizabeth and Robert, perhaps indicating that they were the only survivors by 1732 (but there are no matching burials for Elizabeth and Robert's siblings to confirm this). Uncle Robert's will bequeathed the remainder of his estate to his sisters Elizabeth (later Elizabeth BODINGTON) and Esther.

No christening for Robert has yet been found, however his marriage bond of 1 Jan 1745 reports his age as twenty six, implying a birth year of 1718. Robert was described as a weaver of 'Throllsworth' on the marriage bond, although spelling was fluid and his name was also given on that document as FURBOROUGH, THIRDBOROUGH and FURBROW. He signed his own name as FURBROW.

There is circumstantial evidence to support Robert being the father of Thomas FURBOROUGH who died in Cosby in 1844 and who was the father Dinah FURBOROUGH, including:

- Cosby and Frolesworth are just 4 miles apart

- Robert and Jane christened a Thomas at approximately the right time in Frolesworth in 1768 which would make Thomas two years younger than suggested by his burial record.

Robert and Jane appear to have had up to 11 children although there are reasons to suspect that there were two Robert and Jane FURBOROUGH/FURBOROW families being raised in Frolesworth including:

- 11 children over a 24 year period from 1747 to 1771

- 3 sons called Robert - #1 only appearing as a burial, #2 baptized with a twin (Richard) just 8 days after that burial, #3 baptized two years later (but no burial for Robert #2 unless #1 and #2 were the same child but with misrecorded dates in the original records)

- 2 sons called Richard with no burial for the first

- the use of both FURBOROUGH and FURBURROW, but there is no pattern so it is likely a result of the clerk's choice of spelling on any particular day, indeed even contemporaneous transcribers changed the spelling when copying the registers, e.g. the burial of Mary, wife of James, in 1766 is recorded as both FURBOROUGH and FURBORROW in two different documents.

Infant mortality, multiple local churches with variable record retention and/or poor record keeping may be sufficient explanation; so until some other more concrete evidence is found I will leave all the children under a single Robert & Jane FURBOROUGH.

Based on the other FURBOROUGH (or variant) baptisms, marriages and deaths in Froleworth my previous best guess was that Robert was the son of William FURBOROUGH who baptized three children in Frolesworth in 1717, 1718 and 1721 with Robert being one of the next in sequence, but if his brithyear was 1718 then this would not work.
