Find Ancestors

Sorry I've Tried to find the Maiden name of William Foster b.1823 York Wife. Without success Wondered if a kind person would have a look for me. "Thank you"

What is his wife's first name?

When and where was she born?

Do you have them on a census which you could post.

Did they have children - what were their names.

The GRO site will give mmn if they registered children's births

approx. when were they married - if born 1823 then the marriage should show after 1837 when registration began unless they married very young

All I can find is Helen Stoke Newington. They had a son Charles b.1854 Westminster

This one?

1851 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
Balham Hill, Streatham, Wandsworth, London & Surrey, England

William Foster Head Married Male 28 1823 Servt (Groom) Yorkshire, England
Helen Foster Wife Married Female 27 1824 - Stoke Newington, Middlesex, England
Helen Foster Daughter - Female 0 1851 - Streatham, Surrey, England

So, was Helen born Stoke Newington or are they together on a census in Stoke Newington. You must have something else. When and where and in what context have you got Helen, Stoke Newington from?

EDIT - so Nyx seems to have found the family and it looks as though you had a census and knew wife was Helen and that a son - Charles - was born Westminster 1854 (added to your previous post). That would have really helped if posted initially.
