Christening of Mary Matthewman in the IGI on 21 October 1792 at Saint Peter, Leeds, father George Matthewman.
Marriage of Mary Matthewman and Joseph foster in the IGI on 15 March 1812 in Saint Peter, Leeds, Yorkshire.
In the 1841 census as Mary Foster aged 50, born in Yorkshire, employed as a school mistress, and living with her husband (Joseph), son (Joseph), two daughters (Mary Ann and Naomi), and Martha and Ruth Pickard, and George Mathewsman (aged 4 - I assume a relative) in Low Wortley, Tankersley Yorkshire.
All the children were christened in Wortley-by-Leeds.
I cannot find an entry in the 1851 census. There are two possible entries in FreeBMD for the death of Mary Foster between 1841 and 1851 in Hunslet which included Wortley - April-June 1846 (23 206) and January-March 1847 (23 276).
Wortley is a mile west of Leeds on B6154.
Mary Matthewman was Felicity's third great grandmother.
