There are too many William Fosters of about the right age in London!

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Looking at the 1823 baptism in Ovenden, Yorkshire, posted on page one by Maddie on 17 Feb, at 14:25:

This will probably be that William - though goodness knows if he's the man who married Ellen/Helen or not:

William Foster
in the 1841 England Census
Name: William Foster
Age: 15
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1826
Gender: Male
Where born: Yorkshire, England
Civil Parish: Halifax
Hundred: Morley
County/Island: Yorkshire
Country: England
Street Address: Causey Side
Occupation:
View image
Registration District: Halifax
Sub-registration District: Ovenden
Neighbors:
Piece: 1302
Book: 2
Folio: 24
Page Number: 9
Household Members:
Name Age
William Foster 15 - wool comber

Seems to be a household on his own, but maybe in the same house as Edward Hooson and family.

They don't seem to be immediate relatives.
Edward Hooson married Mary Ann Halliday in 1833.
