Thank you, finding my way around - at least I'm posting in the right place now!

That confirms the baptisms I have and the 1841 census information is correct.

Thanks for the info on the workhouse, I'm not surprised, although it seems a short time to be in there.

Esther Coster, age 61 of chargeable parish of Shoreditch, was admitted to Islington Workhouse 23 Jun 1884 and discharged 9th July 1884

Remember workhouses often had a hospital wing.

Just to add - I see she was a single woman, charwoman" and alos with her was Louis Coster bn 1870, "child of Esther"
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London

Thanks for that - I had no idea about Esther's fate. This confirms the fact that she never married as well.

I've just checked the OxFHS Marriage Index. 1538-1837, for possible parents for your George Coster.

Being born c1802, some marriages stand out.

George Costar(of Aldersgate), to Mary Witchlow. 20 June 1797 @ Benson.  (Could Aldersgate, be St Aldates, Oxford,  or Aldersgate, London).??

John Costar to Sarah Clandfield. 12 July 1802 @ Oxford St. Michael.

But be aware of the fact, there are quite a few possible variations of the Surname Coster.

Costard, Costerd, Costor, Costord, Costiff, Costin.

I would ask OxFHS for a baptism search for your George Coster.  There will be a small fee.

Ives, Stevens, Allen, Smith, King, Wooster, Elwood from Monks and Princes Risborough, Aylesbury, Wendover, Great Missenden, Bledlow, Horsenden, Saunderton, West Wycombe, High Wycombe, Lacey Green, Longwick, Illmer,  Hughenden, Prestwood, The Kimbles, Haslemere, Bradenham, Aston Clinton and more......!!  Plus a whole host of Oxfordshire areas.
Graham, Pimlott, Burgess from Cheshire and Lancashire area.

Hi Steve,

Appreciate that information - thank you. Both are possibilities for me to look into. Up till now the only baptism I could find was in 1814, which I thought was unlikely as he got married in 1823, though I know they didn't always get baptised as babies.

I have come across a couple of different spellings of Coster, but you've added a few more!

Hi Silkbraid, I have Costers too. By chance do any of yours have a Joseph? 1841 shown in Providence Place Marylebone (born not county)with Sarah, she dies later that year and children moved in with eldest and he dies of cholera 1849 having re married to Hannah. Possibly Joseph born 1/3/1791 City of London. Cheers Pete
