Trying to find the children for Ernest and Lily Foster. Married in ST Pancras 1906. Would like to find out the names of their children. Thought the 1911 census might provide the information. Lily's maiden name was Howard. Any help much appreciated.

Brilliant. I think they had a daughter as well. Possibly Rebecca but not certain. Must have been born after the Census.

Yes I think many of the family worked on the railways. They moved to London to get employment on the railways.

I believe they had another son William (Bill) that was killed in the Second World war at Alamein.
