  • William Foster was born circa 1832 at St. Albans, England, , (DOB estimated from Census data).1
  • He was the son of William Foster.
  • William Foster married Elizabeth Pitman, daughter of Richard Pitman and Charlotte Challen, 23 September 1863 at Midhurst, England, .2
  • ("Forster", a variation in the family surname in the 1881 Census).3
  • In the 1871 & 1881 Census and on Eliza's marriage record his occuptation is given as a Brickmaker.1,4,5
  • He was born in St. Alban's, Herts (though the 1881 census says Hants which must be wrong). By 1864 he appears to be working & living in Midhurst. His exact movements at this time are a little confusing. Children are variously born at Woolbeding, Cocking and Bognor, all in the same area but with no consistency from census to census. By 1870 he is in Bradford for the birth of Thomas. He is at Ferry Hill, Co. Durham at the time of the 1871 Census, though Georgina's birthplace is given as Coxhoe. By 1975 for the birth of Frances he is in South Shields where he appears to have lived until his death.
  • On the night of the Census of 2 April 1871 he was listed as the head of the household at Howle Colliery Cottages, Ferry Hill, England, .1
  • On the night of the Census of 3 April 1881 he was the head of the household at Field House, South Shields, England, .3
  • Archibald McMeiken and William Foster was cited as the father of the groom in the marriage to Archibald McMeiken and Eliza Jane Foster at St. Michael's Church, South Westoe, South Shields, England, , on 18 July 1886.5
