FOSKETT Eva Isabel 20 Thrapston 3b 115

Don't shoot the messenger, Viv!

and reading Vivienne's posts to Margaret, I guess I'm just adding to the fun! But I'm only the messenger - don't shoot me!

Vivienne, it looks as though my post for 1891 is correct and assuming that Robert & Walter who sailed in 1907 were born between 1891 and 1907 that then leaves the question as to what happened to Eva born c1884? She would only be 13 when they sailed so I wonder if she died young?
Have to wait to hear from Marilyn to know how any of this pans out!

Well MargaretManson,your a bundle of laughs for the poor poster tonight !

Oh dear again! Another son Charles Foskett was killed 30 Oct. 1917, son of Joseph & Mary, Harris SK and husband of Annie Elizabeth, Prince Albert, SK.

New message to Vivienne j
Hi , Any info will do. I don't know anything about the couple apart from them being married in 1881,in Norfolk, England. They emigrated to Canada after that. I think to a place in Saskatchuwan.Don't know if I've got the spelling correct.
Best Wishes,

From Marilyn
