Looking for descendants of Thomas THAME & Mary GIBBS, married 1783 Fringford then moved to Barton Hartshorn. Particularly looking for descendants of their granddaughter Sarah FOSTER (nee THAME) of Twyford.

Thanks Jax and LD for replying.

I have already tried to contact those who have this THAME family in their family tree and am awaiting to hear. Fingers crossed! I am also aware of the children of Sarah and Henry John FOSTER. It is after that I am stuck.

By 1861 Sarah is a Widow and running the Steeple Claydon Farm with her brother Thomas. Thomas is listed as Single but is in fact living away from his wife in 1861. Thomas, I believe has no survivng descendants. Two of Sarah's siblings and two THAME cousins emigrated to Australia in the 1850s so the family are spread far and wide. I can not find a suitable burial for Sarah's husband but he must have died between 1857 and 1861 and because the FOSTER surname is quite widespread the children of Sarah have been difficult to follow up.
