Hello,
I'm trying to find a family called Foreman. Benjamin Foreman (b.1883) is my great-great grandfather. He was the son of Henry Foreman (b. 1853) and Mary Foreman (formerly Rudd; b. 1855). Both his parents were born in King's Lynn, Norfolk. Benjamin had 12 brothers and sisters. They were:
Henry Foreman (b.1874) - Born in South Shields
William Foreman (b.1876) - Born in Sunderland
Jeremiah Foreman (b.1878) - Born in Sunderland
Charles Foreman (b.1880) - Born in Sunderland
Mary Foreman (b.1885-d.1978) - Born in Sunderland
Harriet Foreman (b.1888) - Born in Sunderland
Elizabeth Foreman (b.1890) - Born in Sunderland
John Foreman (b.1892) - Born in Sunderland
Thomas Foreman (b.1893) - Born in Sunderland
Robert Foreman (b.1896) - Born in Sunderland
Clara Foreman (b.1898) - Born in Sunderland
Christopher Foreman (b.1900) - Born in Sunderland

I know of Mary Foreman and her descendents.
Clara Foreman married a Tony Riis (b.1889).
William Foreman married someone called Annie (b.1879) and they had 3 children; Alice (b.1898), James (b.1899) and William (b.1900).

If anyone has any information on any of Benjamin's brothers and sisters, it would be very welcome.
Thank-you,
Jade
