If anyone is able to do an 1851 lookup please I would be very grateful.

Emma Foster
born Kensington London/Middlesex c.1846
(going by later census ages she would be approx 5/6 yrs old).
Father - William Foster

I'm guessing they are in London/Middlesex area at this time.

Many thanks
Nettie

Thanks Jill

This is my great great grandmother and very little is known of her in the immediate family !!!
I know she married in 1867 (uncle told me) and have got her on 1871,81,91 & 1901 census but nothing before that !
I have nothing elso to go on other than her father being William Foster.

ive had another look Nettie but theres nothing else i can see.
in 1861 the first family that i put up is down to just william Lydia and son william.
William (father) being a tailor.
If maybe your uncle knows Emma married in 1867 does he have the marriage certificate if he does it will say what William (her father) occupation was, that could be a lead.
