Is Foulger another variant? I noticed some early Norfolk Foulger wills at Diss as well as the two Foulsher/Folser wills at Diss in the NRO catalogue.

There seem to be an almost limitless possibility of variants on the name.

I'm sure you are but it would be worth keeping a check on the latest additions to the FreeReg site http://freereg.rootsweb.com/cgi/Search.pl

Hi Carole
            Yea Foulger is another variation of Foulser, what is so frustrating is that Foulser is such an unusual name,  you would think it would be reasonably easy to trace, still it could be worse, it could Smith or Brown. Thanks for your input. happy Christmas. Roger

I have noted http://www.familysearch.org (Record Search Pilot) that the maiden name of Nicholas Foulser's grandmother has been transcribed as FOULER ......................Sarah FOULER married Zachariah NICHOLAS 27 Oct 1779 Deal.  I would say, whatever the correct pronounciation or spelling, that Nicholas "Foulser" is named for his grandmother's family.

Hi Casalguidi sounds like you could be right, as I said in a previous post, some scribes also spelt names wrong, pity they did not have the internet a couple of hundred years ago Google would have been really handy LOL. Roger

Hi I am directly related to this guy who lived in the East End of London I think...he must be my GGGG grand father...my grandfather was Arthur Samuel Foulser and I know we came from a family closely connected to the sea..

Hi Lauren
              I just got in from work and spotted your post, give me a couple of days and I will get back to you with some information that may connect us as a family. Roger

OK ..great..my Uncle has sent me a family tree he started which showed that that Zechariah died around 1851....and had a son called John Thomas who would have been my great great grandfather..I know we are linked to someone called George Foulser who was something of an anarchist trade unionist...and that most of the family were in the Bermondsey area..and that I inherited an old canphor sea chest and was always told it belonged to one of my great grandads..that's about it!

Hi Lauren I am sure we are related, but to define how close, could be a bit tricky and very time consuming, but I would assume that we are cousins of some sort. If you could send me a fax number I could send you a copy of my tree, you said that you also had a tree line perhaps you could send it to me, my fax no is 01708457951 or you can email me on rogerfoulser@aol.com. Basically I am pretty confident that the name Foulser originated in Norfolk/Suffolk. I have looked through many old records showing the name 400 years back with all sorts of weird spellings. I have actually traced back to John Foulser who married Mary Lamborn in 1752 at Hanover Square London, but I cannot get beyond that, They had three kids John, Sarah, and William, my side followed from John jnr who married Ruth Valentine in 1787. they had 8 kids one being a Zachariah born 1806, but he is not directly in my line, my line comes from George Foulser who married Hannah Park in August 1817, they had 6 kids I follow from his son another George who married Mary Danial in 1850, they only had one son named John he married Martha Wise in 1880, they had 4 kid a George being one of them, but my line was my grandad henry who had my dad named Henry, which is where I come from. I have dob's ect. Back in the eighties I spent a couple of grand to get the info I have, I now check through the net for any info I can get. If anybody reading this could shed more light I would be very greatful. I wait to hear from you regards. Roger

Hi Lauren forgot to mention Martin Foulser's websit, just google it, you will find it quite interesting. Roger
