Ann Conner Nee Foster - Walker Northumberland

[O.R.A.W.M.U]

Morning

I’m looking for the parents of Ann Foster.

I can’t find a birth record to match.

She looks to have been born in 1886 Walker Northumberland.

Ann Foster married William Conner in 1907 Tynemouth

I believe they had six children.

Daughter Isabella Conner born 1909 Walker married Robert Cherry in 1930 Tynemouth.

As yet I have not purchased a marriage certificate. If no joy this will be my next step!

Thanks

The 1921 Census shows that Robert Conner, wife Ann and children Isabella; Mary; Ann; Sarah and Elsie living in Walker. Ann states that she is 36 years and 1 month of age and born in Byker. The 1939 Register shows the family living in Wallsend, Ann states her date of birth as 20th May 1885 -- DOB ties in with birth registration of Annie FORSTER shown below.

A search found a 6 year old Annie FORSTER, born Byker, father Robert, mother Eleanor (Smith -- marriage Quarter 4, 1875, Newcastle)

Still looking for a birth registration / baptism

Thank you AllanUK that’s a great help!

So Forster not Foster! That may be why I’ve been hitting dead ends!

Children Birth records registered as Foster as an error maybe.

Ann's mother --

Eleanor J declares herself as born in Edinburgh (1881 Census) -- only one Eleanor J Smith found -- Born 1886, Edinburgh, Eleanor Jane Smith (mother's maiden name FAIL)

[AllanUK]

The 1891 Census shows --



Annie F -- the 'F' could be FAIL, i.e. her grandmother's maiden name

Marriage Locater indicates the 1875 marriage of Robert Forster and Eleanor Smith was at St John, Newcastle

You would be able to get this marriage entry info from Tyne and Wear Archives, Newcastle.

There is a chance the Tynemouth registered marriages could be looked up for free if these were at the below Churches shown on link for Church codes:

Email or otherwise contact the registrar's office and giving freebmd info ask for the venue code.
North Shields local studies holds records as does Tyne and Wear Archives.  North Shields local studies is much easier to access so therefore much more user friendly in my opinion.

Marriage Locator can't exactly pin point the 1907 marriage but it might be worth checking out St Luke, Wallsend, anyway.

Annie F Forster looks to have parents John and Sarah?
