Re that Michael who married in 1864 -

he's aged 23 at marriage, so born c1841.

I'll post the other details, just in case 23 is a mistake and they meant 28 - though it clearly says 23 on the document.

He's a farmer, living in Leigh, a bachelor.
Father is also named Michael foster, a farmer.

Bridget's a spinster, 17, living with her father John Coghlan at Monasterevan.
John is a Servant of Canal Company.

Witnesses are Michael Costello and Mary Brennan.

I can only see five Michael Foster marriages to a Bridget in Ireland in the 1800's. This seems the most likely for someone born c.1833 :-

First name(s) Michael
Last name Foster
Registration year 1864
Registration quarter 1864

I've PMd Michael to let him know there are replies and how to return to thread, in case he's not sure. :-)

What are you asking for? Please!

And how can we possibly know who you're looking for if you don't even say WHERE in England they lived - and when

What is the source of your info?

Michael -
where did you find the little info you've given us?

I don't see Michael and Bridget together in any English census.

The only Irish Michael Foster of that YOB and living in England is this one, but he's unmarried.

When did your Michael move to England?
There are four Michael/Bridget Foster families in Ireland in 1901-1911, but those Michaels were born c1840-41 , 1861-66, and c1878.


There's an Irish Michael Foster born 1831, living in Liverpool in 1881, but his wife is Kate.

No, that's not the correct family.

Here they are in 1871:

What is it you are hoping to find out? Where in England did they live, did they have children ( from which we could find Bridget's maiden name)?
