Michael Usher - Sunderland

[Radcliff]

Heywood it went down for me as well must have been a blip

Silver street as in 1881

is there a connection here to your other posting for Usher earlier today

I too wonder this.

A Michael Usher isn’t on the census’ with Foster and we now know he isn’t related to Mary Ann.

All thank you for this information, its excellent. Jamjar/Ratcliff, it is linked to my other post, I was trying to understand whether Michael was related to Foster in any way, as this would mean that my grandparents had the same ancestor!

Could Foster be related to Michaels father, Robert.

I’m confused, where does a Michael Usher come into things. 

Here is Foster’s birth:

USHER, FOSTER mmn FOSTER
GRO Reference: 1845  J Quarter in SUNDERLAND UNION  Volume 24  Page 311

On the 1851 as Forster, but no parents showing here. Hopefully, someone can check other sites.

Do you have access to the censuses?
Have you tried searching on Family Search?

As already shown Michael is the son of Robert.

Robert appears in 1841 321/24/43

Robert is 13 yrs with Mary 30yrs and other children, including Mary,  Elizabeth and Ann. No relationships are given in 1841.

1851 2397/185/52

William and Mary Usher with children as above and Forster. Jamar has linked to this entry. FS haven’t shown the full family as they run over two pages but you can look the parents up now.

It would seem, therefore, that Foster is the younger brother of Robert and uncle of Michael. (I think)
