Any chance of checking the 1861 census for household of Thomas Fozard please? Hes shown on the 1851 at 42 Upper Streetside, Ossett with wife Hannah. I now know, thanks to a reply to an earlier post, that theres an entry for a Thomas Fozard on the 1871 census at Milner Street and Im trying to prove that they are one and the same and who is shown in the household the children are different but this could be explained by later arrivals after earlier ones had left the nest!

Thanks for this. I now have the whole set from 1841 onwards! I'm almost certain I'm looking at the same Thomas Fozard household in 1851 and 1861 but unfortunately the children have changed - I'm guessing the older ones have left home. If you do have access to the 1861 census and happen to be able to see where Josiah Fozard (b.1843) was at this time I'd be very interested.
Thanks again.

Ooops, You may now find yourself on the horns of a very large dilemma - Josiah is at home with parents - another Thomas and Hannah. This is a dreadful image but you are welcome to a copy if you wish to decipher occupation. And, there is a Benjamin as well
The choice is yours............................
10 Mill Lane
Thomas Fozard 1819 Ossett, Yorkshire, England Head Ossett with Gawthorpe Yorkshire
Hannah Fozard 1820 Ossett, Yorkshire, England Wife Ossett with Gawthorpe Yorkshire
Benjamin Fozard 1857 Ossett, Yorkshire, England Son Ossett with Gawthorpe Yorkshire
Harriet Fozard 1849 Ossett, Yorkshire, England Daughter Ossett with Gawthorpe Yorkshire
James Fozard 1853 Ossett, Yorkshire, England Son Ossett with Gawthorpe Yorkshire
Josiah Fozard 1843 Ossett, Yorkshire, England Son Ossett with Gawthorpe Yorkshire
Does this explain the children problem?
Wait to hear from you

Hi,
I'm new to this site but have been looking for Fozard connections for a while as we believe Josiah is the father of Fergus who has been causing us lots of puzzles!! ::)
I'd be delighted to hear of anything that relates to these two. Josiah and his 'possible' parents Thomas and Hannah are the furthest back we've got on this line. There seems to be a few references to Josiah on the internet that may have mixed his details with another chap called Joshua Fozard- ie wife details, and you know how difficult it is to x-check everything, with record taking, spelling as it was.
I'll be waiting eagerly, although I know this thread is about a couple of years old! Thanks very much

Hi Curioulsynn!
I think I'd have to e-mail you my spreadsheet with misc. information if you'd e-mail me . I too came to a full stop with Thomas Fozard but I have speculated on 3 further generations back (without being able to "prove" connections). Yes, Fergus is somewhat elusive!
Regards

Hi Gavin,
What a wonderful immediate response, thats fantastic. I'd be very interested to hear all about your speculations relating to Thomas, I've got some of my own where Fergus is concerned.
I believe he married twice, though only one is generally mentioned on the internet, and then it looks like he emmigrated to the USA with most of his second family. The only big IF is whether these are the same man or two with very similar dates and details in the same locations. If it is two men then one virtually disappeared!!No death details etc.
Look forward to hearing more, this is a most exciting day! Thank you.

Hate to throw a spanner in the works but found the following in the 1860 York Probates
The Will with a Codicil of Thomas Fozard late of Ossett in the parish of Dewsbury in the county of York gentleman deceased who died 20 August 1860 at Ossett aforesaid was proved at Wakefield by the oaths of George Briggs of Ossett aforesaid manufacturer and William Midgley of Cawthorne near Barnsley in the said county farmer the executors.
Proved 09/10/1860, effects under 1000GBP
Could he be your Thomas Fozard?

Thanks but don't think do. My Thomas died in 1873 and I'd be surprised if he had enough estate to warrant probate of a will!

Hi Gavin,
I hope after this number of years this link is still active.
We have been in contact before about our relation Thomas Fozard born abt.1819 who married Hannah Jagger in the Dewsbury area, I'm now re-visiting it all in the hope of finding definate info about his parents as more records come online.
Have you ever heard that he may actually have been christened George Thomas? I've been looking thru some of my notes and found an entry I'd put about this, I was wondering if this could help to track his parents down as looking for a Thomas I can only find entries for christenings in 1814 (too early) or 1824 (possibly too late) in the right areas!
Any info you have to add that might help would be great.
Best Wishes

Hi,
Yes, I think he probably was baptised George Thomas Fozard. The Dewsbury baptism list shows
George/Thomas Fozard c.16/8/1818 son of John (clothier)& Sarah of Soothill
I can't now remember who helpfully pointed this out to me.
If this is correct then the most likely parents for him are John Fozard (b.1777) and Sarah (nee Scott b.1778) who married in 1798 but I can't prove it. Please let me know if you come up with anything firm. If this is correct his father looks like being Joseph Fozard who possibly was born 1746 and married Mary Lancaster.
Best of luck

Hi Gavin,
Thanks for your very prompt reply, thats a great help as I just couldn't find his likely details. I have a lot of the line you indicate thru' John to Joseph as a possible (probably from you earlier-thanks)etc but having done as much as I can on lots of my other lines I'm returning to this one to try and verify as much as I can.
If I find out anything useful I will definately let you know.
Thanks again and best wishes.
