I wondered if anyone could find a wife for the above chap.
He had a son Joseph Forster b17.1.1717 Goostrey-cum-Barnshaw who may have had a wife called Sarah Sherratt (m 1735 Astbury) but am not at all sure this is correct.
Joseph and wife (whoever she was) had one child - Esther Forster b 20.11.1743 Chelford, CHS - d 11.7.1793 Astbury.
Esther Forster never married. She did, however, have 3 children (baptismal certs for children state "no father named")
Children: Joseph b 1757 Goostrey-cum-Barnshaw, CHS
Isaac b 1760 Goostrey - d 1811 Tarporely, CHS
Rebecca b 1763 Chelford, CHS - can't find a death for her
Marriages of Esther's children:
Joseph b 1757 m 15.9.1793 to Alice Vernon at St. Chads, Over, CHS - they had 5 children the oldest of whom was George Forster b 13.5.1792 Over, CHS - d 6.4.1828
George was the oldest of 5 children and he is my X3 G.Grandfather
He married Jane Bebbington on 6.7.1817 at St. Peter's Church, Prestbury, CHS (both were living in Odd Rode, CHS at the time of the marriage. George was an Ag Lab and Jane ?may have been a schoolteacher.
Because of the upper part of this bit of the Tree I really can't be sure of the stuff I have going back even further ................I have in fact ended up in Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland with a General Thomas Forster b29.3.1681 - apparently he died in 1737 in Bologne, Hauts-de-Seine, Isle de France - sounds very interesting but definitely does not sound like my poor Ag Lab Forsters.
Any crumb of info you drop my way will be extremely gratefully received!
If this sounds muddled I apologise - my brain is certainly muddled with this lot.
