Hey, don't blame me, lol. It's my goddaughter family who are the Fosters! I prefer a Corona. Lew x

Lara. I cant help meself...you know that mate. Lew's surname....FOSTER.... just makes me thirsty....although i prefer V.B :>))))

Well, could be, but first child was born in 1864, so the one Janice found (and I have viewed the image on Ancestry) is more likely to be the one. BUT how do I find out what his wife's surname was! Lew x

Hi Lew. Wot about this one. Dewsbury is in District of Wakefield Marriages Jun 1858 Foster Oliver Dewsbury 9b 537 Hunter Mary Ann Dewsbury 9b 537 Tony Oz.

Hi Tony if you are still around and looking for something to do lol cause I know you get bored easily just relaxing and having a VB lol if I send you pm with some names on of DAYS of O'DAY could you please tell me who the boys married and the girls too and also who had what children please if too much to ask you can tell me where to go but I'm not going unless you say the UK ok hehe there is NO HURRY Tony but just thought I' d try and find some of their offspring to see if they can shed some light on their father and grandfather Samuel and he's disappearing parents and parents in law Henry Ward and Ann Ward Kavenough etc and also George Day/O'Day and Mary O'Loughlin supposed to be parents of Samuel love Lara

o'k...no probs. I cant find the one Janice found ( 1864 ) but then...I'm just going off the Yorkshire BDM, and nothing comes up on that for.. O.Foster ( 1864 )......and the only other was. Marriage 1850 FOSTER Oliver GULLAS Hannah.... All Saints, Sculcoates.. Hull HAS/7/401 Sorry mate. Tony Oz

Yeah that's the one I found, but the one Janice has found is more likely to be it. Buggar! Lew x

Is this him. Marriage: 1858 Registar Leeds. FOSTER Oliver HIRST Mary A ....St Peter, Morley Leeds CE115/301 Tony Oz

No Tony, I though I had it sorted, but was mistaken. Janice has given me Dec quarter 1864 Wakefield 9c 95, but I can't find out who his wife was. Any clues? Lew Lew xxx

Lew. Was just checking the Office records, and saw your Query to a marriage 'FOSTER' Did you find it.??....... If so...no probs. Because i think i have found it as well, and pasted it to your query, but then realised you had maybe already found him by reading your heading again. So i deleted my reply, but have saved it. Tony Oz...:>)) http://www.yorkshirebmd.org.uk/

Wot you talking about TERMORRA fer Easter Eggs, I've been practising for weeeeeks pmsl I'm sure I have one left, at least. ('ve had to buy quite a few replacements) Tony I liked Silverton too, and did the rounds of the artists in Broken Hill. I bought some coasters from that guy with the painted car - wotsisname? Bumsoddy 'Brown' ??? Trifley how far up are you in Qld??? I can't believe its so hot - I mean I can - but geez, it should be cooling down by now. I have to really stop and think what day it is here - I'm all confused (like a certain person I wont name) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, aghhhhhhhh its going to be a short week next week, and a busy one, then I'm off to the Nation's Capital for the weekend. brrrrrrrrrrr Jood

Arvo Wattlers. Sun trying to shine in Melb. Copped heaps of rain overnight and a bit this morning. Rang eldest daughter, who is camping on the Murray at Tocumwal, and told me its nice up there also at the moment, but had a bit of rain earlier. Gwenda. Was sad to hear about Guth studio's, as the panorama of art was such a beautiful sight. I didn't realise they had a fire there. Such a shame.... We have a Guth painting hanging in our Lounge room that we purchased many years ago. Also love visiting Broken Hill and its many Art galleries and Silverton. Mary.....lol....thought it was Saturday, yesterday. So will say again......goodluck for to-night Lotto ( checks calender.....:>)) I'm allowed to be forgetful, cos....I'm over 50...:>)) plus, i dabble in ART & 'CRAFT'.......:>))) Yes....Jack Absalom, another great artist. I used to watch his painting and travelling program on tele a few years ago. Joodle. Glad i added the link then, for W.A if it helped to confirm a few things. Did the rounds this morning, and visited me mum and sisters hoping to score a few freebie chockies....:>))) Yes...i still beleive in the Easter Bunny, and while I'm still scoring ( Choc's ) i refuse to beleive he ain't real....:>)) It's my insurance.......Now all i have to do is find a good hidey spot to put them......and keep them safe and away from the Chocolate Queen Gremlin, Barbarosa....:>)) I have bought her a Chocolate Egg for Sunday.....and have tasted it to make sure its o'k....and also make sure its not Dark Chocolate ( my Favourite ). Hope everyone has a nice day to-morrow, and dont eat to much Chocolate.....or you will get pimples....lol ( you wish ) Av a good un. Tony Oz...:>))

Mornin' Waffling Wattlers Everyone else seems to be giving their weather reports so I thought I'd add mine: Ceiling fans......still on Wall fans.....still on Windows & doors.........all open Awnings on western side......all down Me.....still wearing shorts and sleeveless tops. WHEN will Qld cool down.......probably never! All this talk of art & craft on Tony's site has convinced me....I'm going up early for the Brissie meet. I think I might go up the day before so I can troll the gallery and museum. Then I could hit the town on the Friday night. It's gunna be a great weekend. Lew Lew give the new little Ruby a hug from cyber aunty Trifley and best wishes to the new mum. Joodles..how is Lucas and his mum? Hope both are fighting fit. A hug for them both. Both my men are working today so I'm having a nice quiet day at home. I hope all of you wonderful cyber friends have a safe, happy day tomorrow and the bunny brings you lots of eggs. Big ~~~~~wave and <<<<hug>>>> from me as I sit on my royal barge drinking coffee and reading. love Trifley, Queen of the Nile

Good morning all. Lew Lew - My great grandfather was sponsored by the South Australian Govt. to come to Australia (he was a nurseryman). His last job before he died was as a Ranger in the Mt Brown Forest Reserve, out of Quorn, South Australia. He was instrumental in planting numerous Olive Trees in the late 1880's. I visited there about 115 years later, and the mighty trees are still standing.................... <Just a bit of trivia> ............To this day I dont know why I didnt take a picture of them :-(( That is sad about the Guth Studios, Gwenda. Would love to find out what happened. Shazz, your Darcy sounds like a lively scamp lol - How are you both bearing up with the onslaught of grandkids? Tony - tonight's the night ........ you can start getting excited all over again! Have a nice day all. Jood

Morning Wafflers! A beautiful day in glorious Mudgee, altough a little cool and breezy at the moment. Hubby is out planting another 25 olive trees, which brings our total to about 220, so should get a good crop next year. Your paintings are great, Tony. Wish we still had our art gallery! We used to have one in an old butcher shop and we called it 'The Butcher's Hook'. It was great fun and the Mudgee region is full of wonderful artists. We're into the contemporary stuff which is really only like by about 1% of the population, but that's us - different, lol ! Cleaned the new house yesterday - what a pleasure! I know, h***ew**k, but it's different when it's new. Having some dear friends popping over for dinner tonight. He's an architect, so can't wait to see what he thinks of our 'tin shed'. Although they live in Sydney, they also own a vineyard here in Mudgee and make some fantastic shiraz. Yummy Have visited Chester cat yesterday afternoon and Hubby has planted a beautiful Leylandii pine for him. It's a Caswellian Gold, but I'm going to call it a Chester Gold! For all those praying for rain, may you be drenched. For those you are drenched, may the sun shine upon you. Off to visit Miss Ruby this afternoon and you're right Trifely, I'm going to shower that bub with bling! Love to you all Lew Lew xxx

Tony & Jood - did you know that Guth's was burnt last year - such a tragedy as the Panorama was just beautiful. Never did hear if they knew how or why it happened tho. Morning to everyone else - have a great day. I'm off to work soon so won't see much of the day. Had a bit of rain here last night so Julie might want to do a rain dance for us to have a bit more - not on Monday tho pls - I'm not working and need to get more washing done - lol Catch up with y'all this arvo Gwenda

Evening folks Hi Jood, reason you couldnt find the thread is that someone had it removed, Fred posted another saying OK who had me deleted and apparently that got a little heated also and it was removed, I only posted a reply because I get sick and tired of miss do gooders on line but after a while I went in and deleted my own replies couldnt be bother wasting any more time with them Ah Mary who said anything about giving the kids chockies, Im keeping them all for myself Darcy already calls me fat so I might as well hog the lot hehe Vonny, No I dont think Fred meant to annoy anybody either but some people are not happy unless they upset other peeps, surely must lead a very dull life if all they do is surf and whinge about what is written on here, anyway its been deleted now so she achieved what she set out to do, as for the g/kids, OH is already having a spiffy fit and has started on them already, dont do this,dont do that, no wonder they dont like being here, especially Darcy, when he knows hes coming down to stay he starts, Im not staying down there it sucks, cheeky little beggar haha Laurie that was really funny, poor mum though, seems to have taken it in her stride, she sounds as if she is used to it, as for that thread, I dont usually reply or take notice of them its just that Freds thread caught my eye while flicking thru and I actually only did post it for a laugh but it got out of hand, but I still finished reading some of the replys only because I thought how childish some of them became and I was sitting here laughing at them in the end, as for the 95yr old I wish you had of written in saying that, it would really have made for an interesting evening lol Gwenda you really didnt miss much, but I just couldnt help myself and had to add a few lines I get fed up with people whinging and whining but still go on to read what has been written, some people need to just get down off their soapboxes and actually get a life, ah to be 23 again, wish I knew then what I know now, well somethings anyway thats all for now folks, Im off to do do the bunny deed as I cant wait until easter night, Im worse than the kids Here comes Shazzy cotton tail hopping down the bunny trail hippety hoppety (in my case clompitty clompitty) happy easter day Night All Shaz I think somebody is trying to tell me something, since upgrading to word 2003 I keep getting ads for Viagra wish I could stop the blessed things coming through starting to annoy me, Viagra, Viagra, is that how you spell it Laurie lol
