Hope -Durham and Northumberland,Eng
I am researching the names Foster and Bainbridge and think there might be a connection with Hope.
My gggrandfather was John Henry Foster who married Florence Bainbridge, both born around 1880.They had two sons.
Later they "adopted" a girl called Florence Hope-Baird? who is believed to be connected to the family on the Bainbridge side.
On the marriage certificate of my grandfather in 1925, a Florence Hilda Hope acted as a witness and I wonder if this could be the same girl.
The girl might originally have come from the Alnwick, Northumberland area.
I am hoping to use the Hope connection to get further back on the Bainbridge side.
Does anyone have any ideas please.
