Notes for: Thomas Henry FOSKETT
No baptism has been found to verify that Thomas is a child of this family and he appears to be missing from each census return.
However, on his marriage he gives 173 Grange Rd as his address and John, a decorator, as his father. This is the address that John Foskett
gives in the census return, so it is assumed that he is a child of this family.
