Hi to all, I am new to the list and thought I would pop in to say hello and introduce myself. I live in Lancashire, England and have been tracing my family history for about 2 years now. Doing very well, collecting loads of info on them not just names and dates. I have struggled with my Irish roots, however. Here is my line, if you can link or have any info to offer, please get in touch. Looking forward to hearing from any of you. Regards Val. James Foster born approx 1799 in Co Cavan Ireland married a Jane ? Known children were: Jane Foster b.1833, Co Cavan Margaret Jane b. 14/March/1834, ? Cavan, Co Cavan. Thomas Foster b.1842 Co Cavan. (Thomas was my Gt Gt grandfather) Here is the family in the British 1851 census, they must have arrived in Liverpool some time after Thomas was born: 1851 census Film #0087198 149 York Street Great Crosby James Foster General Labourer 52 B Ireland 1799 Jane Foster wife 42 " 1809 Jane Foster dau 18 " 1833 Thomas Foster son 11 " 1841 Thomas Bantline lodger 28 B Ostler This is on LDS film # 87198 It looks the same family but the ages are slightly different and no wife on this. ================================== Piece 2191/2, Folio # 283a FOSTER - all born Ireland James 53 general labourer Jane 22 Margaret 18 Thomas 11 Thomas married Mary Parker in Liverpool amongst their children was Margaret Foster (my gt grandmother), she became Margaret Jacobsen, amongst her children was my granddad, Thomas, his daughter is my mum. I am interested in the family in Cavan that James and Jane came from. I don't know which parish they lived in but they were Church of Ireland or Methodist. I would love to link with any Foster descendants, there are a lot of us here in Lancashire and Liverpool areas. Kind regards Val. PS: my posts aren't normally this long (LOL).
