Member Since: June 2004 Posts: 2,345 Send Message	Sam, Found Faith with husband John on the 1841 census--not sure who Ann Appelby is? It doesn't list the relationship. So Faith's husband died between 1841 and 1851. I'll check for a death record. 1841 England Census 1841 England Census Name: Faith Forster Age: 21 Estimated birth year: abt 1820 Gender: Female Civil parish: St Giles Hundred: Durham City County/Island: Durham Country: England Street address: Occupation: View image Registration district: Durham and Lanchester Sub-registration district: St Nicholas Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Ann Appelby 13 Faith Forster 21 John Forster 22

Member Since: June 2004 Posts: 2,345 Send Message	Sam, There are way too many John Forster's who died between 1841-1851 in Durham. It will probably need to be researched in Durham. Joan

Member Since: June 2004 Posts: 2,345 Send Message	Sam, I found this death record: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- View Record Name Estimated birth year Year of Registration Quarter of Registration DISTRICT County View Image View Record Faith Forster 1851 Jul-Aug-Sep Durham (1837-1938) Durham Looks like she may have died during the Sept quarter of 1851; hence the children were split apart.
