Hi All hope someone will be able to help solve my problem with my Martin Forster b abt 1823. I can't seen to find him on any census record after 1841 when he was living with his father and step mother.
I have a baptism record for 1823 in the chapelry of Haydon, Northumberland Martin son of James and Elizabeth Abode: Talkin, Cumberland
I have his marriage record 1842 to Mary Ann Dawson. His name appears on the baptism records that i have found for children James b 1847 Hexham, John b 1850 Middlesborough [don't have any baptism info], Richard b 1855 Hexham and his daughter Elizabeth birth certificate. His occupation stated on all is iron moulder or moulder
I have found census records in:
1851 Hexham for a Mary married moulders wife with sons James 4 and John 1 [no mention of a husband]
1861 Haugh Lane Hexham Mary 39 married living with James 14, John 11, Richard 6 & Elizabeth 2. [Elizabeth was born at Haugh Lane]
1871 Jarrow, Durham Mary Ann Forster Widower 50 with James 24 Iron Moulder, Elizabeth 12, Thomas 8 & Ann Jane 3.
1881 Jarrow Durrham Mary Ann Foster 60 widower she had 3 boarders living with her at the time all moulders
1891 6 Ipswich Road, Shoreditch, London, England Mary Ann Forster 72 Widow living with her daughter Elizabeth 31 & husband Arthur Lee [glass cutter]& family
It seems very strange that there are none for Martin and no death records either [died before the census in 1871]
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions will be very welcome
Karen
