Baptisms, Lanchester District Parish/Church: Tanfield (St. Margaret) 7 Aug 1825 Robert Forster, of Sister Wham, son of Thomas Forster (labourer) by his wife Mary Regards Stan Mapstone Stan: I've come across the name before though, like you, I know nothing about the detail of what it was, I expect it was a single farm or isolated cottage. The biggest it is likely to have been is a single pit. I'll write again if I find any further reference to it today (unless someone else does so!). Geoff Nicholson
