Keith or George Foster

polly · 17-01-2008, 19:38

I already have a posting in the Introductions section asking for information on my paternal grandfather, George Foster. I know very little about his except that in 1918 he was an Absantee Voter. He is listed as living on Dale St and was a gunner in the Royal Fleet Auxillary.

I also know that my father was called after him and had two brothers and a sister: Harold, Albert or Alfred and Eeddie.

I vaguely remember that one of the brothers had offspring, a boy and a girl, I think the boy was called Deith and worked at Marks and Spencers in Accrington. I wonder if there is any chance he us on this site? If so I would love to hear from him. I need to know about the blood problem that runs through the Foster family. I have it and it has caused me a number of problems.

If anyone can help I would be grateful

Thanks
Polly

Thanks for that. It seems unlikely that I will be able to contact him which is a shame as he may have known something about the family blood condition, which is why I would like to contact someone from my family.

Thanks for that.

I am convinced that their must be some, related, Fosters still alive and living in Accrington.
My father had 2 brothers and 1 sisters, I think all of them had children. The blood condition I have is very rare among Caucasian's. If there are any Foster decendants out their with blood problems there is a good chance they are related to me!
