• Name	William FURSE
  Born	Abt 1858	East Putford, Devon, England   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Census	1881	Putford Town, East Putford, Devon, England   [1]
  	"Octavis" was a farmer of 320 acres employing 2 men. The 3 siblings enumerated here in 1881 are assumed to be part of the same family as Augustus. Neither William nor Mary seem to show up in the 1881 census but this "Furze" family lives in East Putford, headed by Octavis, near where William, Mary and Augustus lived in 1851. Also, the name "Octavius", suggests a connection with "Augustus", both being names of Roman Emperors. Subsequent censuses in 1891 and 1901 show first William (1858) and then William son of Augustus living on East Putford Barton.
  Census	1891	Barton, East Putford, Devon, England   [2]
  	Octavius doesn't seem to show up in the census at all, and Bertha has married and moved away. William is now head of household, single, Farmer. His nephew William, assumed to be the son of Augustus because of his age and place of birth, lives with him and is described as a Farmer's Assistant.
  Note	1901
  William does not appear to have been enumerated in the 1901 census.
