Thread: Edward And Agnes Forster

The Lady Marion · 30-09-2008, 07:30 AM

I have been given information regarding my Great Grandfathers sisters marriage. I have not been able to find them in any of the Census after their marriage in 1877. I did come across an Agnes Elizabeth Whitehead down as Servant unmarried in the 1881 Census staying with a family by the surname of Thomas. Can anyone help with Census or any other kind of information regarding Agnes and Edward Forster please. I have found a Edward Forster is later Census but his wifes name was Ellen. I,m not convinced this is the same Edward. Maria Whitehead as for one of the Witnesses was the sister of Agnes. Birth details for Agnes and Edward are Agnes (Whitehead) was born 1860c County Kerry Ireland. Edward John Forster was born about 1852 Bexley Heath. I do have information from the Census and IGI concerning Edward Forster and his family so nothing required there. Any help would be much appreciated regarding Agnes and Edward.

Kind Regards Marion

Hi Raven,
Thankyou for your help. Yes thats the family for 1871.

You have found the right Agnes but I need information for Agnes and Edward .

Marion

The Lady Marion · 30-09-2008, 10:01 PM

Can any members add anything more to Agnes and Edward. I am getting nowhere with the Census for them as a couple. Perhaps by 1881 they had ended their marriage?

Regards Marion

Hi Marion

Have been checking on and off during the night and still not been able to come up with anything, sorry..

The Lady Marion · 30-09-2008, 10:18 PM

Thankyou Raven for your help. I am so stumped with this one. Perhaps they went their seperate ways

As I stated before I did find an Agnes E Whitehead staying with the Thomas family down as Servant for 1881 in Woolwich and she was unmarried. I then found in later Census Edward with wife Ellen who was also born in Ireland as was Agnes. However not convinced though its the right Edward on my part. Sometimes Edwards family are down as Forster then Foster. Grrrrrr

Thankyou

Marion

Raven · 30-09-2008, 10:21 PM

yes I have been trying under Foster and Forster..

The Lady Marion · 30-09-2008, 10:32 PM

Thankyou Raven. I cant even find a second marriage for Edward to this Ellen woman if its the same Edward that is

On the Census gosh cant remember which one now but I think its 1891/01 Edward is married to Ellen born Ireland and has two older daughters with them down as Step sons. From memory Ellen might have been a Brown before she married. Ellens borther is also with them. I just dont know

Just off Raven to have my breakfast. Bye for now and Thankyou
