Find Ancestors

I have census records of Eleanor Foster 1881 to 1891 inclusive living in Putney. I understand from relatives that she never married. I thought she died about 1932 aged 56 but cannot find any details of her death or where she is buried. I do not know if she was baptised.

Possible?

Nudging this up in the hopes that Deirdre will return to it.

Nudging again. Deirdre???

I'd be very interested in knowing if this is the right person.

Hello Deirdre,

Margaret has posted some great information- a bit of feedback would be good.

You can reply using the 'Add your reply' box at the bottom of the page.

Hope we hear from you soon :-)

I am sorry but Eleanor's parents were William & Emily Foster a builder of Putney. I have documentation to show this is correct. Eleanor's parents are buried in Putney Lower Common Cemetery. Thanks for trying to help me.

So, after all that I had the wrong person! Too bad that you hadn't replied sooner so I would have known.

You say you have her on the 81 census, could you post it please? I can't find an Eleanor with parents William & Emily,

Edit: I also can't find her on 1891 which you say you have.
