My mother is Anne Fobester born 1923 who had brothers and sisters Fredrick b -1910 Walter b - 1908 Ellen b - 1906 William b -1905
they were the children of Ellena Rosina Pratt and William married in 1881
There family goes back to John Fobbester b 1818 who married Harriet Tucker.
they had 2 boys John b 1841 Henery b 1850
I only have the next link that JOhn married Rosina Anne Hockerday in 1840 and then had 9 children.
My mother was born in the East end and grew up there and lived around the Bethnal Green area.
I would love to find out who the brothers /sisters were of John Fobbester 1818 or if I can get any info on his parents/grand parents as i am presently writing up some information about the Spitalfields /Hackney area.
My grandmother thought there may be some French relations somewhere which could be a reason for the unusual spelling as many French names were anglized in the 18th century.
if any one can let me know anything please let me know.
