Henry Foster b1841/2/3 Death I can't find in Doncaster WR Yorkshire.
« on: Sunday 01 January 12 13:52 GMT (UK) »
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,

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.

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.

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?
