Family History Beginners Board / Life before Joseph, Amelia and Elizabeth Foster emmigrated to New Zealand
« on: Monday 07 September 20 04:57 BST (UK)  »
I have hit a brick wall trying to find any Foster ancestors. Joseph Foster (mariner) was born around 1832 and came to New Zealand in 1853. He was followed by his mother Elizabeth (Eliza?) and sister Amelia Elizabeth in 1858. An 1841 census has people of that name living in Little Corman St London with a James Foster the same age as Joseph. Other than that I can't find any other evidence of a Foster family with a mother Elizabeth & children Amelia & Joseph. Foster is my children's surname and I would love to be able to trace their lineage.

Sussex / Elizabeth Catton

Kia ora from NZ, my 5th great grandfather Benjamin Potter married Elizabeth Catton in Itchingfield Sussex 1763. I can't find out anything about her. I hope someone can help. I thought her surname may have been mistranscribed from Caffyn but can't find any evidence of ElizabethCaffn either
