Thank you for your reply Colin. I don't think this is him as Elizabeth Forster (wife) nee: Collcutt was listed as a widow on the 1841 census!

I had a look to see if I could find anything for William but haven't turned up anything sorry 

Is Elizabeth on here own on 1841 census?
I only found her as a widow with her married son William on 1851 census and she died age 80 buried at St Aldate Oxford on 14 Mar 1855.

Hi thanks, Yes a widow on the 1841 census.

The Burial record in 1855 lists her age as 85 abode Broad St. I think she is in Broad St in 1851.

Yes, all correct. I just need some info on her husband William. I'm begining to think he wasn't born in the area?

[cuffie81]

William had died by the time of daughter Sarah's marriage in 1838, adding weight to that burial Colin found in 1837.

Oxford University and City Herald
04 Aug 1838
Same day [Monday last] was married, at St Aldate's church, Mr Laney, tea-dealer, to Sarah, youngest daughter of the late Mr Foster, livery-stable-keeper, of that parish.
