Just wanted to share this :) as you’ve all helped me piece together who Alfred was, and that he wasn’t actually a foster but took the name. My cousin went over to France today to find him :)

Hiiii can I confirm that section D corresponds with the number 60?

Yes his headstone and the plaque both say foster, but as some repair work is being made to the plaque thought it would be nice to also make note of the other surname. But as cannot be sure on it, better not :)

Hmm its all abit odd..... you no what thou, the surviving sibling which is my line, Alexandra, she always said she had half siblings no full ones, so violet would of died by then and im guessing she was on about Alfred. But there was no dna back then if in doubt and the fathers name is on the...

It says father of solider deceased. we know he wasn't as he had another family didn't he? but they may not of known that.

just going back thru things and just noticed this... odd

Sounds delicious, roll on xmas day :))

So apart from the main meat…. Do we also have pigs in blankets & sprouts on our plates for Christmas ???!!!!

That’s a good point, maybe he did want to sound English.

Really odd! Like u say one of those mysteries! That id love to find out

I think we can rule out that he was the son of Foster as he already had a son called Alfred so I don't they would use that name again, so I think the other two options. It also crossed my mind that his father left and he didn't have a relationship and maybe he didn't want that name. They found...

I was actually watching about king Richard III they found under a car park and they done exactly that, extracted his dna and traced down 16 lines to present day to identify him. Its a head scratcher why he took the Foster name, im guessing his father wasn't present and he took his moms...

Right ok.. hmmm .. a family member is in possession of a plaque that they are getting re done and placing it at his grave in France... before I relay this story just wanted to get the facts right. Im going to go with that he was a Pechio from the birth record :)

Just a quick one about Elizabeth nee (smith) who became a pechio, had three kids, then married a foster & then a barker. The son Alfred Henry foster who joined the army and used the surname foster and he wasn’t a foster. Do we know for sure that he was definitely a pechio (perca)

interesting... I know a few people who would love that feast as they love fish dishes.... Ahhh that makes sense then as my ring door was down too.....

The last few years ive gone from the 1st December to the 15th November to put my tree up. its very early but its my favourite thing ever to decorate it, and I enjoy having it on in the evenings, it feels cosy. I think for the first time in years I will go to mass on Christmas Eve too. what is...

ok Ill leave that one for now... and just wait to see if more info becomes available. :)

Did he take his middle name and change it to Peter?

yes ill put that down for now and see if any hints come up also. I have two Peters on the tree, one born 1925 is the son of Maria and Francesco and then Peter also called his son Peter and he was born 1958. if im right.

When Giuseppe done the article in the paper he was 70 then and in the uk, but I guess if there’s no mention of him here he must of gone back. Shall I put the above record down as his brother for now, as the parents are the same, bar the dad’s name. Like u say I can’t see the mother marrying...
