William Foster - North Dakota
I'm looking for my husband's great grandfather William Foster (1837-1902). He was born in Ireland but went to Ontario, Canada as a young man. He married Margaret Sanderson (1840-1871) in Kemptville, Ontario and they had 5 sons. She died in 1871 near Stratford, Ontario and William remarried and moved to Pembina, North Dakota. He and his second wife had a daughter Rellie or Lilly in 1879. I found William Foster in North Dakota in the 1880 census and again in the 1885 Dakota Territory Census (listed as Hamilton Tp, Pembina County, North Dakota). I have no information about his life in North Dakota or what happened to four of his sons: Isaac (1861-1934), George (1864-1946), William (1866-1903), and Robert (1871-1905), or his daughter Rellie-Lilly (1879-1954). The fifth son, James Dyer Foster (1868-1950) moved to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and was my husband's grandfather. Can anyone help?
