I notice your interest in the Easton family. I am researching Fosters, Crispins and Roachs in the Revelstoke area and the Easton name occurs. My descent starts with James and Sissily Foster married in Revelstoke in 1687. From them it comes down to Charles Foster (1815) and his long and fruitful alliance with Lousia Roach - Charles' wife Caroline Down had deserted him! Their eldest child (of 11) was Sally Ann (1843) who married William Easton on 25th December 1880. I assume that Sally Ann married as a Roach and not as Foster although her sister, Ellen, my grandmother called herself Foster when she married.

I have seen no baptisms for their children in Revelstoke and wonder if you have them on your Tree and know if they moved away. I also notice a marriage of William Foster to Elizabeth Easton in 1851. I cannot place this William unless he is the son of James a brother to Jarvis - their parents were James and Rachel (Veal). Do you know who this William was and, if he was James' (b1876) do you know who James was married to?

If you can help unravel these attachments to the Fosters I shall much appreciate your help.
