Thread: look up request

hi everyone,

would anyone be so kind as to look up thomas foster born liverpool westderby area, 1894/5 as i cannot find him at all and i have a query about his parents names, to try and narrow the search as thomas foster is quite a common name, he has sisters ruth,miriam,and i think jane not certain but i think he may have had a brother but dont know his name

thankyou

pat.

Hi Pat,



How sure are you of a sister named Miriam, could it be Marian? What's the query about his parents names? Do you know if his father was Thomas?

Hi Pat,



I was hoping you'd come back to your thread tonight before I took it further, so I'm not sure if Miriam could be Marian?



But here's a possible family from 1911, I cannot say for certain that the children are all Thomas and Ellen's, you would need to buy credits and look at the original sheet to gain that info.



FOSTER ELLEN F 1901,10, West Derby

FOSTER ELLIZABETH F 1906, 5,West DerbyLancashire

FOSTER EVAN M 1904,7,West DerbyLancashire

FOSTER JANE F 18991, 2, West DerbyLancashire

FOSTER MARGARET F 1897, 14, West DerbyLancashire

FOSTER MARIAN F 1908, 3, West DerbyLancashire

FOSTER MR THOMAS M 1874, 37, West DerbyLancashire

FOSTER RUTH F1911, 3 MONTHS, West DerbyLancashire

FOSTER THOMAS M1895, 16, West DerbyLancashire

FOSTER MRS ELLEN F1872, 39, West DerbyLancashire

And what looks like the same family in 1901, but a different wife's name. Could Thomas' first wife have died and he remarried? Before taking this further I'll wait until you get back to me.

thankyou very much for your help slizzy, that certainly looks like the family i am looking for, my grandfathers sister was definatly miriam but, could have been mis spelt as marion, my grandfather was thomas foster b 1895 in west derby area of liverpool, his father was also called thomas pride foster b c 1873 i was pretty sure he had a brother named either evan/ivan but as i said i could not find the family on any census. the confusion over his parents names was because i have been in touch with a few distant relations some say his mothers name was eleanor (which could have been written as ellen i supose) and some say it was margaret or mary!!!! and as i say i couldent find any of them, all i found was thomas pride fosters birth on free bmd.

one name suprised me though i have never heard of a sister ellen!! but it has to be the right family as its too much of a coincidence.

but once again thankyou very much for your kind help.

pat.
