Thanks very much to Rosemary, Pat, Margaret and Robert for all your great assistance regarding Elizabeth FOSTER - or should I now say Elizabeth LOSH/ FOSTER/ SUMPTON/ JONES. You have all helped fill so many of my gaps. It has been a marvellous response. It is interesting that her father and first two husbands were all master mariners. Matthew FOSTER was originally a master mariner living at Bridgewater St., but I notice that in 1832 he was listed at that address as a block maker. Was that occupation related to boats? Thanks again to all concerned. Your responses have been wonderfully helpful. Tony.
