Constance A, 4, b Cambridge
Alex Buist, 23, boarder, stone mason, b Scotland
In 1896 Frederick Charles Furbank married Mary Rutherford in Chesterton.
Photographs which the Museum of Cambridge hold, seem likely to be of their family – of the wedding group in 1896, the wedding reception and of the couple with their child Constance, aged about 3, circa 1900. Any further ideas and information about this family welcomed.
