Hello Rootschatters, I can't find the death of a Henry Foster b1841/2/3 I have him with his family in the 1891 census but not the 1901 but his demise is a mystery. His birth is given variously as the 3 years indicated, his birth in 1841 in Manchester but his Census says the others. I'm puzzled!
Regards,
Rossolad.

Hello,
where is the rest of the family in 1901?

Hello again, The only one I've discovered so far is the ancestor I'm trying to follow, William Francis Foster b1882 Doncaster who married Nellie Gertrude Fevre in 1907. I should have looked for the children of Henry shouldn't I? I cried 'wolf' too early. The other children were, John b1877, Edmund '78, Kate '81, Margaret '83, Frank '87 and Harry '91. All born Doncaster.
Thank you for going to the trouble even when I hadn't done my homework properly.
Rossolad.

I don't quite understand how you have William in 1901 and not the others :-\
You will be able to check 1911 now.

Thanks for that Haywood! I may have lead you astray in my original post. I only had the family in 1891 and since I couldn't find them in 1901 (Thanks to you for finding the spelling mistake in Foster) I assumed the head of the family, William Francis, had died. The 'Fosler' tip has them plain to see in Printing Office Street which I've walked down many hundreds of times.
Thanks again, that'll teach me to think a bit harder before asking.

good luck!

Hello again Haywood, I'd like a copy of the record for my file but I can't get Ancestry to find it even using Fosler. I've tried the help section to find records by RG no, Sheet and folio but the help section might as well be in Greek for all the help it gave me, clear as mud!

I would try looking for Arthur Collett perhaps?
-
Sorry Heywood, I didn't get that last post you sent? Was it a clue?

Yes ;)
I have given you the 1901 information but you said you couldn't find it. I suggested perhaps looking for Arthur Collett who is a boarder with the family rather than trying Foster variations.

Hopefully with your help too he will find it.

My apologies to both of you, time of year with cold and a 'puta' problem has slowed me down but I'll begin following up on your suggestions later.
Thank you both for the help,
Rossolad.

Hope you're feeling better soon and in control ;)

Hello Heywood and Mirf,
I owe you both an apology! ;D I gave you duff details. ;D Instead of using a calculator I did some maths in my aging grey head and got it wrong. ??? I kept feeding in Henry's birthdate as 1841 and it was 1851! Shame on me, I never thought I'd get a simple sum wrong. In mitigation I did find him in Ancestry in 1911! Unbelievable, I thought 1911 was a no go.
Thank you both once again, ::)
