South Hetton falls in Easington parish. A quick look at Easington St. Mary's and no Jane Forster or Foster with a father named Robert. My fiche also includes Castle Eden, Dalton le Dale, Seaham, and Monkhesledon.

Excuse me for trunking in, this caught my eye as i am tracing Forsters myself
being of one by birth, its an horrendous name to trace in the north east!
I have found a Jane Forster born 1831 living in South Hetton on the 1841 census, there is a Robert mentioned on the census but not sure if it should read Forster as the surname or not, could be a simple mistake or a total red herring but its worth looking at. you may have other names you can match up.
Regards
Mercel
