FOSTERS George and Mary - Epping
I am looking for any relatives of the above couple who may still be in the Epping/Chingford or general Essex area. George Foster b 1840 was a career serviceman in the Royal Marine Light Infantry from 1859 until 1881. Whilst based at Forton Barracks in Portsmouth he had married Mary Rowland b 1849 from Alverstoke. By the time they moved to Epping (6 Queens Terrace Grove) they had 5 children - they eventually had 10 before they left Epping. The other thing I would dearly love to know is the occupation of George Foster while in Epping. The 1891 census says he is a "Constable, Central Marker(t)". This means nothing to me nor apparently to the museum in Essex! He was an accomplished horseman and I assumed he might be a Forest Ranger. Someone suggested that "Central Marker" might be something to do with the various Markers around Epping Forest and I know there is a Central Marker where the Meridian line runs through the Forest. Can anyone help me with this and possibly any descendants of the family still lurking in the Forest. I would be most grateful. (I think George Foster may have been widowed whilst living in Epping - I have found a death entry for 1892 for a Mary Rowland - the age is correct and the registration of death was at Colchester. Can anyone give me a clue as to the nearest C of E church or graveyard to the Queens Grove Terrace address please.

Horsnell, Davey Families - Faulkbourne
I am a descendant of Isaac Davey, son of James and Susannah (?), baptised 4/1/1829 in Rivenhall, Essex who married (on 22/12/1851 at St.Pancras) Eliza Horsnell, born 1830, daughter of Charles Horsnell. (Isaac's father James is said to be the son of Samuel Davey (b. before 1769) and Mary Cranmer, (b. before 1769) - they were married 29/6/1790 at Rivenhall, Essex.) Eliza Horsnell's place of birth is Falkstone or Faulkbourne, Essex - forgive my ignorance of the UK! They sailed to South Australia apparently on the "Shackamaxon" which either left Liverpool or arrived in Adelaide, S.A. (probably the latter) on 19/1/1853. I am told they had 9 children, Emma being one of them, and from whom I am descended. Emma's siblings included: Charles James (b.15/5/1856), Edward (b.1861), Harry (b.1865), Arthur (b.1868), Esther (b.1873) and three others, about whom I have no details except that one was a son and the others daughters. Both Isaac and Eliza are buried in Payneham Cemetary in South Australia. Emma Davey, thier firstborn, married Denis Landers Ryan of Limerick, Ireland in 1872 at Parnaroo, S.A. and had five children: Victor Herbert, Vincent Charles, Ethel Eliza Maria, Bertha Ida and Percival Myles, all born in South Australia. I have oodles of information from thereon in which I'd be delighted to share. I am the great grandaughter of Vincent Charles Ryan and Sarah Elizabeth Clode, married circa 1901 in Redruth, S.A. ...apologies that this is so haphazard. Isaac Davey was one of six children, the others named Uriah, Mary Jane, Emma, Jonas and Eliza. We seem to know so little about Isaac's wife Eliza Horsnell and her family. Nor a whole lot about Isaac's parents and grandparents. If anyone can make head nor tail of this, or it strikes a chord with anyone please get in touch. Kind regards, Rebecca.
