Notes


Robert Foster enlisted in the 34th Regiment of Foot at Leeds, 6th September 1823, and was placed in the Band, where he appears to have remained for the rest of his service, until the end of February 1841.

He was discharged in Toronto, Canada, at which time his next of kin was noted as 'Wife' 'Susan Foster' 'Toronto' 'Canada'.

I've found a few Robert Fosters in Canada who might possibly be him, but none with a wife Susan, and none really certain. No marriage to a Susan has been found.
