Hi
I am looking for descendants of John or Jack Foster born about 1863 and Emily. John was a fisherman. I believe they had 7 children called Albert, Alfred, Lily, Stanley, Dora May, Jack and Ivy.
Albert went to AUS. where he had at least 1 child but was killed in WW1. Contact with his family was lost in WW2.
Lily never married. I don't know about Alfred or Stanley.
Dora May was my Nan.
Jack married and they had 2 daughters.
Ivy's husband was called Fred (surname unknown) and he was a fishmonger in Hastings. They had 5 children. One of their sons had 2 daughters Susan and Lynne and a son ?Robert. In 1950s they were living in St Leonards near my Nan Dora May.
I would dearly like to meet my cousin who shares my name Lynne again.
Does anybody have any information about my family?

Thank you
Lynne

Lindamay you have tagged on to an old posting.

If you could give more details about your Fosters someone may be able to help.
Where was the workhouse ?
Have you got Ellen's birth certificate ?
Who did Ellen marry and who did she name as her father.?
