Find Ancestors

I have a Margaret Caroline Foster born sept qtr 1908 in Carlisle. Have tried to find her in the census on familysearch but nothing that I can see. Could some-one have a look please.
When she married Robert Boustead in March qtr 1945, both the names of Foster and Greer are showing. Children born in 1928, 1932, and 1937 are Greer MMN Foster??

I have just found Margaret's first marriage to Thomas Greer Dec 1927 in Carlisle, sorry but I had missed that, having a bad day!!

Who were her parents?

In 1921, she’s with John James, Robima (1896)and 7 others

Hi ErikaH, Don't know who her parents were but have a list of some of her siblings, Elizabeth (Betty), John, Jimmie, Anne and William.

From her death record she was born 28th August 1908, which would fit with the info from Maddie (above)

Find the birth on the GRO site for MMN….then look for possible marriage on freebmd

Suggestion only, following some research

John James Foster married Margaret Caroline Wilson JAS 1897

Ahha, got a marriage for John Janes Foster to Margaret Caroline Wilson , Sept qtr 1897 at Carlisle, so will now have another look for a census. Thank-you

You probably know about the GRO site - you need to register but it's free to search. MMN given from Q3 1837 when registration began and also ages at death

Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
FOSTER, MARGARET CAROLINE WILSON
GRO Reference: 1908 S Quarter in CARLISLE Volume 10B Page 605

In 1901 John and Margaret had two sons, William and Isaac, both born in Scotland

Can’t see any sign in 1911 - perhaps they were back in Scotland?

Just message my friend who I am trying to help with her research, she says she can remember the name Burnt Island in Scotland, but didn't know where it was or whether it was relevant.

From google -

Getting a little more complicated as we get back. Wondering if Robina was related to Margaret, his 1st wife, Will see if I can find out

He certainly didn't wait long before he re-married!!
