Alice Foster
« on: Wednesday 02 October 24 16:41 BST (UK) »
Looking to find any information with regards to Alice Foster whom married Thomas Thompson November 22 1653 st Nicholas church Durham . Alice was baptised Nov 12 1632 at st Nicholas church Durham . Her father was Richard Foster. There is a marriage at St Nicholas church Oct 24 1613 which suggests Richard Foster was married to Elisabeth but I'm not sure if this is Alices parents. . Several family trees on familysearch suggest this couple as being her parents and that Richard Foster was born April 9 1592 . They state Richards parents as
being Mathew Forster and Elizabeth Forster. Having went on Durham records has actually shown that the father of Richard Foster born April 9 1592 was Robert Forster and not Mathew.
Any help in advancing the ancestry of Alice Foster would be greatly appreciated as most of what I've discovered on familysearch etc seems to be guesswork with no reliable evidence.

It looks like there are baptisms at Easington and Stanhope where the other marriages took place. So the 1813 marriage looks more likely.
