yes robert would be my great great grandad

so are these names the ones i should have and not the ones i wrote down is this the same family

just seen your names joseph the fosters ive got dont have a r in foster i wonder if my info is right im a bit mixed up now all i know is the harold is my grandad the james my great grandad and robert my great great grandad

don't worry about the different spelling of Foster - it does seem to be the correct family - there are often variations in the spelling of names

so is it possible to work out where robert comes from is he a cousin to one of these names as he isnt in their list thanks

First of all you are going to have to find Robert in 1871 , then work out who the others are

this 'may' be his birth
Births Dec 1860 (>99%)

FOSTER Robert Guisbro 9d 410

so now ive got to find out who roberts father was because it doesnt look like its thomas foster does it or he would have been in that list wouldnt it thanks

Alexandre, do you have a marriage cert for Robert to Anna Mary?

no ive got nothing just the names and the place boosebeck

right, the first step is to make sure you have the right details, what are you absolutely certain of, and we can work backwards from that ?

You will need to get the marriage certificate to be sure of father as it's not an unusual name.

i definately know the james foster who was married to mary spence is right with dates she was from north shields so that means robert was his dad that is definate

so we're right with this yes?

you have that marriage certificate? what is father Robert's occupation?

i havent got any certs ill try and get some sorted out and get back to i feel as im getting yoy to look for things that arnt there

work back from what you know Alexandre, the most recent first so if you are sure James is 'yours' getting his marriage cert will give you father's name and occupation and that will help when looking at the census :)

leave the thread up and then come back to it (by clicking on 'my thread participation' in left hand menu)...and we can hopefully help a bit more.
