1901 census lookup Foster Newcastle

[broonyboy]

Hi All

I may be clutching at straws here, but I am looking for a bit of a break.

I know that my wife's great grandma is Sarah Foster, born in Newcastle.  She married George Edward Stamper in 1912.

At this point I have no confirmed birth date etc. for Sarah and I do not have her parents names.  I think she would have been born about 1888 and I know she has a sister named Phillis (BMD only has one Phillis Foster, about this time, in Newcastle Born Q1 1889)

Would someone mind (if this is possible) having a look in the 1901 census to see if there are many entries with Sarah and Phillis Foster as daughters living in Newcastle, who will be 2-3 years old.

I realise this is clutching at straws, but I feel that any information will build on the first hand knowledge I may be able to get out of relatives when chatting to them.

Hope you can help.

Hi,

If Phyllis was born in 1888/9 ish, she would be 12/13 in 1901.

This is the closest match I can find.

RG13/4766/50/39
42, Seaham Street, Westgate, Durham
George Foster, 42 Bricklayer, Newcastle
Annie, 41
Thomas, 15
Phyllis, 12
Sarah, 9

All born Newcastle.

I hope this is useful.

Isabel - we must stop meeting like this!

Hopefully this is the right family but as you say, the certificate is the best way of being sure .

thank you so much Isobel and Jen.

This family definitely looks like the one (correct area and links to the green market - Flower seller), I'm sure that a slight jog of the memory will bring loads flooding back.

I really appreciate your help, and respect how thorough and quick you are.

Thanks again
