If Hannah and James were married, the illegitimate children would automatically be given the name of Foster.

If you are following the James and Ann (Hannah) as parents then it is worth noting there are a few other children (all born Pickering)

Jane baptised 11 September 1815 parents James and Hannah
Ruth baptised 13 may 1818 parents James and Hannah
James 21 July 1820 parents James and Hannah
Seth baptised 17 Feb 1823  parents James and Hannah

(NB Daniel in 1826 is the only one where the mother is Ann rather than Hannah)

Also having the other children gives an idea of the date for a marriage ie 1815 or earlier

(Source familysearch)
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

At least that would tell you if she was previously married.
