92A York Street

A Coal Porter

1881 – 1901

Number 92a is not on the Census for 1881, 1891 or 1901.

1911

Arthur Furness, 29, coal porter, b. Cambridge

Florrie S Furness, 28, b. Cottenham

Agnes Hewitt, 23, Florrie’s sister, jam factory worker, b. Cottenham

Oscar Bass, 17, boarder, wood yard labourer, b. Wood Green, London

Arthur Hewitt, 10, son, b. Chesterton

Robert M L Furness, 5, son, b. Cambridge

Florries and Arthur have been married for six years and have had two children, one of whom has died.

The 1911 census is filled in by the householder, in this case it is hard to read as there is a lot of crossing out and a hole in the middle of the page.  It is unclear who Arthur Hewitt is the son of.

1939

Ruth Easton, who grew up at 12 Stone Street, has married Frederick Tyler and is living here with at least three grown up children.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
