Hi all,
I have James Foster b. 1821 in Tring; he married Sarah Brown b. 1815 on July 29, 1838 in Tring. James and Sarah had 3 sons, Josiah b. 1838, James b. 1839 and Henry b. 1845, all in Tring. James died in 1849 and Sarah went on to remarry twice.
Any help with James b. 1821's parentage would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again!

Louisa A. Green - b. 1865 in Raventhorpe, Yorkshire. Became a Salvation Army Officer along with her husband William Platts. It must have been a tough life for the entire family. My grandfather never spoke much about them but I know he ran away to Canada at the age of 15.
Mary A. James - The daughter of a Welsh shipwright, she met and married a Scots Lawyer or Law clerk (who really knows). I think they got divorced but once again...no one talked about it.
Anne Donnelly - Born in Cardiff of a huge Irish family.
Gertrude Gill - My favourite. Her father was a teacher and her grandfather a professor of education, she loved to learn. She was born after her parents returned to England from teaching in Singapore. She fell in love with Charles Alden and followed him to Canada where they were married.
Didn't the women of those days have hard lives? They were truly amazing though!
BTW, I do love reading all of your stories and seeing such a vast array of surnames. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks to each and every one of you for your help in this thread.
Shelia M - I agree, it would be interesting to know who the mother is and when/if I discover it, I'll let you know the 'end of the story'.
Valda - What a lot of work! Thanks for all the information you found for me.
Trees - We'll find out if this is an indiscretion or not, but it certainly is an interesting tale.
Newfy - Thanks for noticing my thread and helping me out.
I'll work on this and let you know what I find. Thanks again!

This family gets more interesting as I dig even deeper.
Remember that niece, Sarah Shepherd? In the 1851 Census she's living with Eliza Hollick sr. and is listed as an unmarried niece from Middlesex.
By 1861 Sarah Shepherd's the unmarried head of a household, but she has a son, George W., age 3, and she's living with a boarder, George Chessum.
In 1871 Sarah is an unmarried housekeeper and the mother of three children, George 13, Louisa 8 and Clara 5. George Chessum is the head of household.
And I thought anyone directly related to THIS family was going to be boring
