Carlow / Re: Edward Bunbury Foster
« on: Wednesday 27 January 10 11:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there.  I was so excited to read your post on Rootschat this morning as even though we (my cousin & I) knew James Taber's wife's name was Charlotte, we had no surname for her.  We did however have the following information, which you may already have.  We can now understand how Henry Bell Taber came by his middle name.

These are the offspring of James & Charlotte that we know about.  Perhaps you have more information you'd be willing to share such as a marriage record or the like for James & Charlotte, and/or a birth & death date for Charlotte.

Frederick William Taber b 24 Oct 1784 bapt 28 Nov 1784 Westminster parents James & Charlotte Taber
(he was the executor of James Taber's will, and from these records, it looks like the oldest son)

James Stanwix Taber b  15 Dec 1786 bap 16 Jan 1787 Westminster, parents James & Charlotte
Elizabeth Charlotte Taber b 1 Jun 1789 bapt 9 Aug 1789 Westminster, parents James & Charlotte
Eleanor Jane Taber b 17 Sep 1791 bp 14 Oct 1791 Westminster, parents James Taber & Charlotte Henry Bell Taber b 25 May 1793 bp 18 Jun 1793 Westminster parents James & Charlotte
Henry Bell Taber b 13 Dec 1794 bp 7 Jan 1795  Westminster, parents  James & Charlotte
Amelia Taber b 2 Aug 1797 bap 27 Aug 1797 Wesminster parents James & Charlotte


We also wonder whether you have a copy of Charlotte's brother's Will which may make mention of Charlotte who it appears ended her life in a lunatic assylum.  I'm sure this sounds a lot worse than it was as the poor lady maybe had Alzheimer's or something similar.  As yet we haven't been able to track down why James Taber Jnr as given Stanwix as his middle name.  Do you know why?

I'm sorry I can't give you any information on the Bells - we didn't know of their existence until your message arrived today.

My direct email address is: (*).  If you'd like to send me your email address or an Ancestry user name, I can send you an invitation to view my Ancestry tree on which I have all I know on this family.

My line of descent from James and Charlotte is:

Eleanor Jane Taber m Edward Bunbury Foster
Susannah Foster m Charles Drew Street
Snelling Francis Street m Mary Jane McGregor Stafford
Albert Victor Street m Vera Lillian Burdett Dixon
Frank Stafford Street m Joyce May Barnes
Me (Jennifer Street)

Looking forward to hearing from you.

With kind regards,

Carlow / Edward Bunbury Foster
« on: Wednesday 20 August 08 11:21 BST (UK)  »
My great x 3 grandfather, Edward Bunbury Foster, was born in Carlow Ireland c. 1791, the son of Luke Foster and Margaret Tyrrell.  He married Ellen or Eleanor Jane Taber at St James Westminster Middlesex, England on 6 June 1813. They had a daughter Susannah, bap. 1814 in Westminster and a son Edward, b. 1815.  Edward Snr & his son Edward migrated to Australia aboard the 'Thompson', leaving England in October 1828 and arriving in Sydney in April 1829.  We don't know how and when Susannah arrived in Australia but on 20 August 1836 she married Charles Drew Street at St James' Church in Sydney.

I'm wondering if anyone knows where Luke & Margaret Foster are buried or anything else about them and their family.  Did they have any other children apart from Edward?

Cheers,

Jenny
