The deceased's vessel was unloading coals in the creek. The deceased, who was an old man, belonged to Maidstone, but was in the employ of Mr Haymen, of Rochester. He is supposed to have accidentally fallen from his vessel in the night. An inquest is to be held this evening at the Star Hotel.

ELSIE MAY BASHFORD. Notes for BADEN POWELL MAFEKING FREEBORN: The name 'Baden Powell Mafeking Freeborn' is of certain significance. First of all, Robert Baden Powell was the man who formed the Boy Scout organization January 24, 1908 and I'm not sure of any connection between the two. Secondly, Baden was named after the relief of the Seige of Mafeking during the Boer War in South Africa. According to Muriel Pegg, his grand daughter, Baden had no family of his own and that he and Elsie May were a devoted couple. After Elsie May's death, he was a very lonely man. These are notes from Muriel Pegg to Jack Freeborn. viii. HENRY THOMAS FREEBORN, b. 13 Oct 1903, Milton, Kent, England; d. 21 Jun 1973; m. GLADYS IVORY. 38. ix.

Notes for GEORGE ALFRED FURMINGER: 1891 Census RG12 718 F98 P9 Sittingbourne If Annie did die in 1895, then it looks like George and his children are living with his parents in 1901 census: 1901 Census RG13; Piece: 812; Folio: 27; Page: 14 28 Shakespear Road, Sittingbourne According to his brother Edward Chales's will made in 1924, George was left 10 to have a "barrow" built. This suggests that George was working, possibly, in the family business.
