Can anyone help with pre 1871 lookups for STEPHEN FOSTER and ELIZA COE. They were married in 1866 at Witham. STEPHEN FOSTER was born c1825 at Bradwell. ELIZA COE was born c1839 at Coggeshall. Only other info we have on them is that STEPHEN was in the WEST ESSEX MILITIA, and when their first daughter was born in 1867 they were living at Lower Anchor Street, Chelmsford.
I found the following on the 1841 Census for Great Coggeshall
Gravel, Gt Coggeshall HO 107/335/3
Alfred Coe 25 Confectioner Eliza Coe 25 Alfred Coe 3 Eliza Coe 8 months
Robins Bridge
Mary Coe 65 ?? not born in County Mary Coe 15
Also tho I forgot to note the address
Georgina? Coe 17 apprentice to straw bonnet maker
Hope these help Sue

Please get a FULL census lookup done on the reference to see if Mary 74 is a grandmother. Happy Xmas. Geoff.
Here is the nearest Stephen Foster I can find in Writtle (just outside Chelmsford) in 1861 (RG9): FOSTER ANN 40 1081 133 BRH FOSTER STEPHEN 33 1081 133 BRH FOSTER GEORGE 10 1081 133 BRH
and the others from Writtle: FOSTER CHARLES 24 1082 147 LBD FOSTER GEORGE 47 1082 152 LBD FOSTER HARRIET 16 1082 152 LBD FOSTER JAMES 40 1082 152 LBD FOSTER JOHN 45 1082 154 LBD FOSTER JOHN 29 1081 134 BRH FOSTER MARY 35 1081 134 BRH FOSTER STEPHEN 58 1081 142 BRH FOSTER WILLIAM 25 1081 142 BRH
Certainly there are no Fosters in Chelmsford in 1851. Hmmm? Geoff.
