Look on FreeBMD for a marriage . That's where we would look


If you can't find one then if they reg the children's birth you may have to buy one of the birth certs for her full name

Use http://www.freebmd.org.uk to check bmd's from 1837 to approx 1950's - it's an on going project.
Given the Reg District where they are living in 1861 and the birth yeasr of John this would be a possibility although there are others. Cross check to see if you can also find a Robert Forster with wife JAne on the 1861 census too to help ensure you have the right "couples"

Marriages Mar 1853 (>99%)
ATKINSON George Gateshead 10a 516
Birtley Jane Gateshead 10a 516
Collins Isabella Gateshead 10a 516
FORSTER Robert Gateshead 10a 516

Don't assume that the oldest child on the census was the first-born.......

There could have been others ........who didn't survive

Put freebmd in your favourites....................and use it for all BMD queries between 1837 and approx 1960

EDIT:

Did you miss the info about John on the census you looked at?
