Hi Sue
Abraham Foster married Martha March qtr 1896 Keithley 9a 241
In the 1901 census Abraham is listed with Martha details below:
Abraham Foster Head 28 born BINGLEY hairdressers assistant
MarthaFoster wife 23Yorks Bradford
Sarah4Keithley
Dorcas2Lancashire Waterfoot
Maria5 months"
They were living in number 2 St Johns Buildings Rawtenstall (which is in Rossendale)
Dorcas married Henry Schofield (henry and harry often used as same name) 1921 Halisden Lancashire
Abraham Foster born Halisden 1918 mothers maiden name Hall June qtr
Thomas Foster born 1915 halisden mothers maiden name Hall
Doris Foster born 1908 Halisden
Nellie Foster born 1906 Halisden
Of course you would need to check that they are the right people.
however the twist is the following, either Doris was not married to Mr Gardiner as I cant find the marriage or she was his first wife, see below:
Marriage: 15 Jun 1940 St Nicholas, Newchurch in Rossendale, Lancashire, England
James William Gardiner - Full Bus Labourer Widower of 3 Kings Avenue Rawtenstall
Sarah Ann Foster - Full Slipper Worker Spinster of 15 Booth Street Waterfoot
Groom's Father: James Henry Gardiner, Slipper Worker
Bride's Father: Abraham Foster, Deceased, Hairdresser
Witness: Fred Gardiner; Agnes Mitchell
Married by Banns by: Maxwell Young Rector
Register: Marriages 1921 - 1943, Page 113, Entry 225
