I am researching the Forsters/Foresters/Forresters/Fosters of the Bewcastle area. I am hoping someone may be able to help with providing a birth date and parents of Joseph Forster born c 1722. Joseph lived at Oakshaw, Bewcastle and married Elizabeth Hunter in 1774 (he was a widower). He was buried at Bewcastle in 1784 aged 62. Elizabeth died at Oakshaw in 1822 aged 69.
here's hoping!!!!
Hi
I have a diocese of Carlisle marriage licence reference for the first marriage of Joseph Forster (I think):
16 Oct 1756
Joseph Foster, Bewcastle, bachelor, yeoman
Ann Pruddam, Brampton, single woman
bondsman: Allen Routledge, Carlisle, gentleman
marriage to take place at Brampton
and for his second marriage: Eliz Hunter being of Toddles in Bewcastle
also possibly for his father George if you are interested.
regards
Deborah
