Missing father to 3 children in 1839, what am i not seeing?

[nomie]

could be and the second two children born 1835 and 1839, just with the second name.

If Hannah and James were married, the illegitimate children would automatically be given the name of Foster.

If you are following the James and Ann (Hannah) as parents then it is worth noting there are a few other children (all born Pickering)

Jane baptised 11 September 1815 parents James and Hannah
Ruth baptised 13 may 1818 parents James and Hannah
James 21 July 1820 parents James and Hannah
Seth baptised 17 Feb 1823  parents James and Hannah

(NB Daniel in 1826 is the only one where the mother is Ann rather than Hannah)

Also having the other children gives an idea of the date for a marriage ie 1815 or earlier

At least that would tell you if she was previously married.
