Title: 1841 census look up for Francis Foster please
Post by: Seadragon on Tuesday 06 April 10 08:03 BST (UK)

Sorry but dont know his exact birth ,where born or living only probables
birth about 1785 in the Otley /Pately Bridge area
his son William married Harriet Kirkby at Weston in 1838 and father was listed as a farmer
I think he had a daughter Sarah who married a John Wall of Addingham
I found a death for a Francis Foster in 1847 but not sure if he is the one
I have no idea who he married or of any other chiildren Thanks :)
