Hello, thanks all. Yes Mel. On the 1871 census she is at Aycliffe as above and it says Elizabeth Forster and Joseph Forster aged 1. However, I am still looking for their marriage. She was also born 1850 and Forster has been spelt Forster and Foster. Her maiden name was Thompson. |

Well the only one I can see who is a Blacksmith is the one that K and Prickly holly put up. It says (I think) he is unmarried. |

Although it says eliza she is called Elizabeth. I can only think maybe they didn't get married at all. They did go on to have several more children. Thanks. |

I think I've taken a wrong turn somewhere down the line. I have now found a baptism for Eliza daughter of Robert and Ann who are her parents. Also found a marriage of Eliza Thompson to James Foster Sept Q 1867 and a birth for a Joseph Humble Foster March Q 1870 but not sure if its their son. Oh dear, I think its back to the drawing board :-( |

That is what bothered me when you stated her name was Elizabeth......because she appears as "Eliza" on all the census records. |

Just got back in after nipping out. Your right Holly. Joseph Humble is not their son. Ichecked on the 1881 census. I am now trying to find them in 1881. Always assuming she married James, it was in Auckland I think it may be him (maybe!). |

Hello, I now have the marriage for Eliza Thompson and James Foster. They were married at St James church in Coundon, Co Durham on 26 August 1867. Eliza was 18 and James 20. James father was called John. Unfortunately the occupation column for James is blank and also for his father neither does it say deceased for his father. Eliza signed her name but James made his mark. As you will see above James is not with Eliza or Joseph on the 1871 census, and it doesn't say that Eliza is widowed. As I don't know where James was born I think it will be impossible to find him on the 1871 census. However, I also can't find any of them on the 1881 census. I'm wondering if they may have emigrated. She doesn't get a mention in her father's Will. Any help appreciated, thanks. |
