There are only 3 Richard W Foremans listed.

So John was the one who died:

Rose

Which one, the Lewisham death?

Rose

I believe this to be the one. The story goes that he died of grief at the loss of one of his sons aged 10.
Richard

I have searched for online links with the 4 children but had no luck yet. Have also checked phone books and sent letters without success. Their generation are much more mobile and not living in /bromley or even Kent ,now

Or there's this one in a neighbouring borough:

Rose

She married a William G Foreman.

There's this death:

Death Registration Month/Year: 1957

Which means she could have remarried earlier than you thought.

Rose

Have just checked Planton. He was born in 1950 - a bit young for Lily, born 1915 !

What about the 4 children? Have you made contact with them? Would they know anything about her?

Rose

Sorry It must have been another name I saw awhile ago that was in 1953

Richard

The Planton marriage was the one to which I referred at the beginning.........1973 in Suffolk

Thanks for all the responses. I have original birth cert. so am sure of the surnames. I believe the Planton marriage was much earlier than 1964 but will follow up the Suffolk reference.
Thanks again

The possible Lily M Foreman marriage is to a Planton, and there is a Lily M Planton on the electoral register for 2010, living in Bury St Edmunds.
Ask Jean in record office for a search.

If you were adopted, your first port of call should be your local Social Services Adoption Dept. You could also try www.norcap.org.uk.

If your mother was born in 1915 it's very possible that she may have passed on. Saying that, I have a couin who was born in 1915 and she's still going strong!
