Witnesses to the marriasge were Thomas Kitts (his mark) and Elizabeth Rouse. Althoug on the 1891 census John records himself as being married, there is no evidence of his wife Martha anywhere on the census. TYPE Address (Facts Pg) DATE 25 JUN 1874 | Spouse (F65)

|
| 133 | John seems to have died quite young, probably before 1841. It seems possible that he was a dealer in flour, since the first census listing occupations (1851) lists Mary as a b read flour dealer, assisted by her children Ellen and Richard. In 1841, she gave her status as "independent". By 1861, she had apparently retired from this business, but was then a "proprietor of houses". In 1851, she had 2 servants; in 1861, only one. | Spouse (F295)

| 134 | John was born on 7 Feb 1905 at home in Lissart Street, on the Western side of the West Derby district in Liverpool, Lancashire, UK. At the age of 13, he nearly died from pneumonia, and although he recovered he was left with a very weak chest all his life. John left Chatsworth Steet School about 17 Apr 1919. His school reference, written by the headmaster (G Carmichael?), states: "John Foster, Standard Seven, is a boy of very good character and intelligence. I can recommend him with confidence, as I always found him to be honest, obedient, xxxxx and clean. He should prove a trustworthy and conscientious employee, as he is bright, active and a boy who has constantly shown a steady and pleasing character." He worked all his life as a joiner. At the outbreak of WWII, he was working at Camel Lairds shipyard in Birkenhead - an occupation that protected him from being called up . He should have been exempt anyway, because of the chest condition his pneumonia left him with. BUT - he enlisted! He served in the Royal Engineers, until invalided out in 1945. In 1944 he was crew on one of the barges that switched the troops from the ships to the Normandy beaches during the D-Day landings. He spent some time at Arromanches in France after this. His medical discharge notes from the army described him as having only a short time to live. He lived another 44 years. But he did suffer from tuberculosis, and spent 18 months in a sanatorium near Frodsham in Cheshire, UK recovering. Subsequently he resumed work, but his chest was so bad that he could no longer work the long hours that joinery on a building site entailed - so he worked as a joiner for Liverpool, Lancashire, UK Council. John was a lifelong Liverpool, Lancashire, UK FC supporter. Before the war, he and his elder brother Willie travelled a lot to away matches. He loved talking to supporters of the opposition in the pub before matches, and he was appalled later when inter-club rivalries became more bitter and violent. During the later years of his life, he became a seaon ticket holder at the club, and went to most matches, but towards the end of his life he was disappointed that so may matches were played in the evenings, because his chest condition prevented his going to evening games. John died early in the morning of 15 April 1989, just hours before 97 Liverpool, Lancashire, UK supporters were killed at the FA Cup semi final against Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, UKshire, UK Forest at Hillsborough stadium, Sheffield. John's favourite expression was "Dog bite me!" What did it mean? | Foster, John (I102)

| 135 | John was from Leyland parish. | Spouse (F122)

| 136 | John's Police Service Record was obtained from the Preston Record Office. It seems somewhat mixed! John joined the Lanashire Constabulary on 14 Nov 1863, at the age of 21. He had previously been a power loom operator. His last employer was Captain Wilson (?) in Preston. His height was 5' 8". He had a fresh complexion, brown hair and grey eyes. His Police Warrant Number was 4216. His first posting was to Manchester, Lancashire, UK. He subsequently (no date is given) moved to Kirkdale in Liverpool, Lancashire, UK. On 1 Mar 1865, he was promoted to 2nd class. One year later to the day, he was promoted to 1st class. This seems to have been the high point of his police career. On 6 Dec 1866, he was given permission to marry Letitia Stirret of Green Lane, Stanley, Liverpool, Lancashire, UK. The marriage took place on 1 Jan 1867, at St James Church in Mill Lane, West Derby, between West Derby Village and what is now Queens Drive. His police career seems to have gone downhill following his marriage. On 17 Apr 1868, he was reduced to 2nd class following a reprimand (no reason given). In 1869, matters came to a head. On 24 July, he was reduced to 3rd class (no reason given), but he had probably already given in his notice, because on 15 Jul 1869, Superintendent Martin writes the following comment on his record: "I have long considered him of very little use and therefore cannot recommend him for re-appointment." John left the police service on 13 Aug 1869. His reason was that he wished to reside near his parents (in Penwortham). This may have been because his mother Jenny was ill. She died of cancer in Nov 1870, after 13 months illness, but perhaps she was already unwell before the diagnosis. During their stay in Penwortham (in Dec 1870), John and Letitia had their 2nd son William, the only child not born in Liverpool, Lancashire, UK. By the following April, they were back in Liverpool, Lancashire, UK. | Foster, John (I72)

| 138 | Later in life, Mabel became a Christian Scientist. She believed that God's love alone could cure any illness, so long as one had sufficient faith. She consequently refused treatment for the eminently curable illness that killed her. | Foster, Mabel (I10)

| 139 | Leonard's career as an actor on stage, film and television is so well documented, it is not repeated here. His most popular role in television was as Rigsby, the frustrate d landlord in "Rising Damp". What is not well known is what a good sportsman he was. At the Liverpool, Lancashire, UK Collegiate School, he was both cricket and football captain. He once scored 11 goals in an 11-0 vic tory for hid team! | Rossiter, Leonard (I1595)

| 143 | Lily was the 6th and last child born to her mother (her father had 2 children from his 1st marriage) in January 1918. She had no memory of her father, who died when she was only a few months old. Lily went to Steers St primary school. She did extraordinarily well at school, obtaining a scholarship which enabled her to go to Blackburn House grammar school. When she left school she went to work in an accounts department of a local company. Lily served in the WRAC from 8-1-1943 to 25-1-1945. During this time she married Harry, also a soldier, in Aldershot in June 1943. After a few days honeymoon, they did not see each other for 3 years, since Harry was posted to Africa. All her life, Lily believed that there could be no higher calling than being a teacher. After the war, she took the opportunity offered by short teacher training courses and attended a teacher training college in Liverpool, Lancashire, UK. Harry attended the same college. They were both unable to find teaching posts in Liverpool, Lancashire, UK, and so began teaching in Caistor in Lincolnshire, UK. This was the first of a number of places they taught and lived in in East Midlands and East Anglia, but eventually (about 1960) they moved to the new town Corby in Northamptonshire, UK, which was to be their home for 25 years. Lily was an avid reader all her life, and a keen theatregoer. She loved discussing books, politics, radio - even football - anything. She was a wonderful conversationalist, and a very good listener. She was so often asked for advice on may varied matters that eventually she was invited to serve with the Citizens Advice Bureau. She did this with such success, that she was next invited to become a JP , and served as such for about 14 years until she and Harry moved to the Wirral in 1984. During her time in Corby, Lily was a member, and eventually the secretary, of the Corby Natural History Society. One of her great loves was walking in the country. | Ferguson, Elizabeth (I24)
