thank you very much AG that's the right marriages and 1961 census.
Also the right birth Whitchurch, all Ancestry kept throwing up was a birth in Whitchurch Hampshire, didn't think to look on free BMD.

I have Fosters in my tree and they're occasionally spelled Forster. Something to do with accents, I believe, adding an R where it shouldn't be. I remember grandad talking about his farther.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
