Dunno Ellie.

Using Fuige, Fuge, Finge can't find a birth or a census or arrival.

Interesting there are 7 births with surname Fuige between [1866-1886], parents = James & Margaret. There is a gap between 1872-1876 then this.

Births:
FINGE ROBERT HENRY
222/1874
JAMES & MARGARET
SYDNEY

I suspect the PoB may not be solved until we get the correct surname, or possibly more details from the marriage. No real reason to doubt Swansea at this stage, his occ re mariner at his marriage was correct, brief as it appears to be.

EDIT: To add info

Three newspaper notices for 1866 marriage all have the name as FINGE.

It is FUIGE in all subsequent records.

Yeah, I think mostly Fuige is the correct name/spelling. Even the press are getting it right [sometimes], there is a memorial for Margaret in 1898 and all the family names are spelt Fuige.

I was wondering if it was possible to make a case for Finge in an attempt to trace his arrival, nothing leaping out

He could have jumped ship, but we'd have seen something the Police Gazettes...

He doesn't appear to be in the local directories 1863 &1867.

I wonder if 'native place' could mean he lived there, but not necessarily born there?

Funerals.
THE Friends of JAMES FUIGE are respectfully invited to attend the Funeral of his deceased beloved WIFE Margaret; to move from his residence, 68, Harrington-street, TO-MORROW (Sunday) AFTERNOON, quarter before 2 o'clock, for R. C. Cemetery, Rookwood.
REUBEN W. THOMAS, Undertaker, 44, York-street.

Same year Sands Directory has James at 62.

I've searched Trove for 'Fuige' and corrected those that are not Fuige such as Paige. Found several of the sons in court for various reasons through the years. Found nothing that helps re James origin or arrival.

Nonconformist Records
If you are unable to find your ancestors in the parish records, it may be worthwhile looking at the records of the nonconformist chapels.

Following Hardwicke's Act of 1753, all marriages between 1754 and 1837, (except for the Quakers and the Jews) had to take place within the established church - even if they were of nonconformist denomination. There was no enforcement on baptisms, therefore most nonconformist baptisms will not appear in the parish records.

Amongst nonconformist records, there are:

• Baptism, marriage and burial registers
• Manuscript lists of members
• Contribution books of individual chapels
• Printed annual reports from 1880
• Denominational periodicals

Unfortunately, chapel records have not been as safely and conscientiously stored as the records of the established church; therefore it's unusual to find any register before the 19th century. For surviving registers see Cofrestri Anghydffurfiol Cymru/Nonconformist Registers of Wales ed Dafydd Ifans (NLW, Aberystwyth, 1994).

Access

• CAPELI database available in the South Reading Room only
• Through the Catalogue
• Pre-1837 registers held at The National Archives in Kew on microfilm on open access in the South Reading Room.

Yeah, strange these odd voyages that crop up, not necessarily enough to suggest he is a regular mariner.. There are others that have him as a passenger [if it is him] once in a cabin and once in steerage. No new info, if you want copies let me know.

Thanks Ellie.

Thanks Geoff.

I'll leave it there for now.

Probably as well, Dave.. Could keep finding bits forever and never his birth. Would still be interesting to see his marriage cert. details if ever available.

Geoff

I should be able to find time next week to get to the Mitchell Library.

Catch you later Geoff.
