Your last reply seemed to come in before I posted my last one, so not sure if you saw it or not!

By 1891 Joseph's mother Jane had also died:

1881 for Mary Jane Wade, as slaw said it's free to view:

father called Spencer Wade, so that name is obviously in the family, will trace them back to see if I can find the Rev. Spencer Wade

Mary Jane had  younger brother called Spencer, maybe he became a Reverend?
You would need to maybe check the 1911 census for him to find out.  You need to buy credits to do that.

Or maybe you're hoping that this Spencer Wade is the relation, Chaplain to the armed forces?

an article written by him is here: http://ext.sagepub.com/cgi/pdf_extract/54/10/277

Barbara,
the goal for the moment is to find out more about Jane and James Forster.

Well I think we've got quite a long way with them in a short time 

The next step would be for you to get their marriage certificate to confirm the census information, before going any further back

I agree, I really didn't anticipate such a great response.
Thanks again.
Moraf.

[Ecneps]

If you'd like to post details of the marriage cert, if/when you get it, we'll see if we can help you further

Kind regards
Barbara
