Illegitimate children found - Thomas King Forster & George King Gold

[Lady Di]

I've just come upon a couple of illegitimate children acknowledged in their father's will.

Have no idea if either child survived and they are not connected to my tree. I have no other information.

In case it helps someone somewhere sometime ...

Daniel KING (senr) of Southminster mentions in his will circa 1792:
His illegitimate soon George GOULD, aged about 8 years
Also mentions:
His illegitimate son Thomas Foster (also spelt FORSTER on same page). Thomas was under 14 yrs old when will written.

Quick investigation found:
George King GOLD - Bp 31 Dec 1782 Southminster, son of Ann GOLD
Thomas King FORSTER - Bp 11 Apr 1790 Southminster, son of Martha Forster.
   - Martha Forster was also Daniel King's housekeeper.

Hope this might help somebody

Cheers

If you put their names in your heading, would it make it easier for people to find them in a search?
