Hi
Charles Foster born Kinsbury, Middlesex. about 1851.
Father John Foster Profession Mason or Bricklayer. Dead by Charles's marriage 1873.
Can find Foster's on 1851 and 1871 census's but not sure which is the right one.
Anyone have access to Kingsbury or area Parish Records?

There's a john foster, bricklayer here: RG9; Piece: 300; Folio: 63; Page: 9 but no charles.

Hello, Illustrator,

Sorry to query this, but now do you know Charles was born in Kinsbury ?   Did you take this from census info.?   If so, could you please post the census year, with piece no, vol & page no so we can check.

I ask this as I do not know of a Kinsbury in Middsx, there is a Kingsbury & a Finsbury.

If Kinsbury has been mistranscibed or misread  & could be Finsbury there is this birth reg in freeBMD.  Finsbury would be in Clerkenwell.  This was, in fact, my first thought when I saw Kinsbury, that it could be Finsbury.

Birth
John Foster
Mar ¼ 1851  Clerkenwell 3 112

Hi
Any ideas about an ancestor Charles Foster (sometimes spelt Forster) born abt 1851 (died 1898 Winchester) Kingsbury London Middlesex (this is on his military service record). On his Marriage Certificate in 1873 his Father John Foster, is given as deceased and was a Stonemason, but I cannot find Charles's birth Certificate or who John Foster was or anything about the family.
Kingsbury is or was a district in London but would it have been a birth registration area?
Charles married Emily Clara King in Portsmouth 1873. He was in the 77th Middlesex Regiment then the 67th Royal Hampshire's had three children.
Charles  born Tamil Nadu Bangalore India abt 1878.
Elizabeth Clara Mary born abt 1881 Tamil Nadu Bangalore India.
Rose Susan born 1888 WInchester, I know a bit about her, but nothing about Charles or Elizabeth.
Charles and Clara spent 14 years in India any ideas about what their life would have been like?

Please see http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/places/regindex1-3.pdf
which gives Kingsbury in Hendon Registration District.

Hi illustrator

With reference to your first post, it would seem that no-one has been able to look at the parish registers for the Kingsbury area, otherwise I'm sure you would have had a reply. The registers have been deposited at the London Metropolitan Archives, St Andrew or Holy Innocents have baptism registers for the period you are interested in. You haven't updated your profile so we don't know where in the world you are and if a trip to London is possible for you. If not, the LMA does undertake research but charges from £40.

I would like to point out that although civil registration started in 1837, it wasn't compulsory to register births until 1875, so there may not be a birth cert to find.

I would then suggest that at this time there don't appear to be other Rootschatters researching the same family that you are to add to what you already know.
