Trying to trace my Romany roots Foster and Evans

[suzard]

Hi Suz and many thanks for that ....yes my Grandfather had twin brothers Joe and Stanley
Lillian remarried as my great grandfather Albert was killed in WW1 , well Frank lived with his mum until she died and he lived alone until he died ...but i didn't know he was married

Grandfathers middle name was Frank and his Brother was Frank is there a family connection too this ?
Frank Foster was he maybe a Brother of Henry  ? strangely this shop was at 106 Guildford Road Chertsey the same road the Henry had a Scrap Metal business .....Guildford Road in Chertsey is quite a long road it could be just coincidence but how knows

the twins were registered as Stanley & Thomas (not Joe)??
What was the full name of your Grandfather (just to check we haven't missed a generation

Suz

Happy New Year to everyone here and thanks for all your help

He had an older brother Victor H Foster.

I suppose i should explain myself more , i was contacted about 6 months ago by a guy claiming to be related to me ,a very distant cousin
his name was leander gaskin he claims that his great great grandmother was a foster and a relation of John Foster born1819 in Hockliffe Beds
he also claims that we were related to a John and Elizabeth Foster who had a daughter called Christian they came from Drayton Parslow and they were travelling people were talking around 1650 ….but i haven’t been able to find anything to confirm this ..now my GGG grandfather John Foster father we think was called Abraham Foster does anyone have any information on this ….anything linking them back to these people

cheers woodge

What I’m tying to find out is if there’s any link between John Foster born in 1819 in Hockliffe Beds and a John Foster and Elizabeth Foster living in and around Drayton Parslow Bucks about 1640
they had a daughter called Christian ....John is a very common name but I have a lot of Johns in my Foster side and Hockliffe was around 10 miles away from Drayton Parslow coincidence or what ?
I’d really appreciate any help as I have drawn a blank at this point

[woodge]

Ok so i found out John Foster Born 1819 in Hockliffe his father was Edward Foster 1783-1876 wife name was Sarah Weaver 1783-1862 his grandfather was John Foster 1760-1799 married Elizabeth Breed in 1781 Elizabeth was born 1761 but i still cant find any thing to link them back any help would be gratefully received
