17 James Street, Cambridge

History of 17 James Street

1901

Frederick Furbank, 28, tailor, b Cambridge

Mary, 27, b London

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.
