My 3rd great grandfather Richard Foster is recorded in my late grandmother's notes that he died in Gibraltar however I have been unable to locate any records to confirm this fact. Richard Foster was born in 1780 in Iden, Sussex, married to a Jane Foster 10 Mar 1803 in Winchelsea, Sussex. There were four children and the last child born was Caroline Foster on 27 Feb 1810 in Icklesham, Sussex so I suspect his death occurred some time after 1810.
Their third child Thomas Foster my 2nd great grandfather was born in the July quarter 1807 in Winchelsea and following the death of his father is reported to have been educated at a Masonic school for boys in Sussex and later married and with his wife and five children migrated to Australia in 1838.
Any assistance in locating any details and circumstances of Richard's death or what he was doing in Gibraltar at that time would be much appreciated.
