Searching for details re Thomas Foster born in Ireland, place and date not known. Family said to have originated from Holland but date of original settlers in Ireland not known. Require details of parents, siblings, etc. Possibly a sister married to a Halliwell.

Thomas Foster born about 1868
Married in ?Wigan/? Peterborough about 1900

Spouse: Sarah James b. 1870 Penrith Cumberland

Children: 1. Esther Mary b 28 March 1901
Wellingborough ? Penrith. d 1969
2. Marian ? d.o.b Wigan d 1997/8
3. Dorothy b 1911 Wigan d 1966/7
4. Douglas James b 1904 Wigan d 1946

The family known to be resident in Wigan, Lancashire from about 1904 - address 38 Dicconson Street.
Thomas Foster's occupation then: Tailor.

Thomas Foster died: abt 1936/7 in Wigan.
Sarah James died: abt 1957 in Wigan.

Esther Mary Foster listed on the 1901 Census as
1m old born in Penrith. Census Parish - Wellingborough, but always said she was born in Peterborough not Penrith - possible error on Form.
Sarah Foster also listed as born Penrith. Census Parish Wellingborough, but so far have been unable to trace Thomas unless his occupation was
not Tailor at that time and he was not in the Wellingborough area.

Does anyone have any possible connections to this family. Irish records all but impossible to trace at the time Thomas was born. Any information will be appreciated. Thelma Hurly
