Misty, There is a death for a Julia in West Bromwich so I don't think she made it until 1861. Rose

Thanks Rose. That gives me another avenue to explore. I haven't come across Julia yet so maybe she died or is with her parents in 1861. Thanks again Misty

Eliza was christened at the same time: ELIZA FOSTER Christening: 18 APR 1852 All Saints, West Bromwich, Stafford, England Parents: Father: WILLIAM FOSTER Family Mother: MARY ANN and a Julia: JULIA FOSTER Christening: 18 APR 1852 All Saints, West Bromwich, Stafford, England Parents: Father: WILLIAM FOSTER Mother: MARY ANN Rose

Thanks Gail, looks like I will have to order the cert. Was hoping to find them in 1851 first because I'm not really sure if they are my rellies or not. I am trying to pin Jane down but she could be Foster or Lloyd and there are one of each living on the same street in 1861! I have ordered a bc for the Lloyd one, will wait and see if that helps me. Thanks Charlotte, will look for Mary Ann and see if that leads me anywhere. Thanks again to all of you for your help Misty

Gerri sorry about that, forgot to mark on my copy that they were down as Toster, just taken me ages to find them again as well. Gail has found the right family, thanks for looking both of you just can't find them in 1851

Misty Can you please put the 1861 census up that you found as i cant seem to find it for any of the children mentioned? Where did you find this?..Ancestry? Gerri

Please can anyone find this family in 1851? In 1861They are living at Puddingbag Street, Golds Green, West Bromwich. Ambrose Foster was 14 and head of the household b Golds Green, Staffordshire Eliza Foster, Sister, 12, b Stourbridge, worcestershire Jane Foster, Sister, 8, b Golds Green, Staffordshire Underneath it says deserted children! Poor things. I am hoping that their father is William but can't find them at all in 1851. Would really appreciate it if someone could have a look for me.
