Foster descendants Dublin.

I am looking to see if there are any descendants of James Foster and Catherine born Jordan married around 1911 active on this site. They had 6 sons, one of whom, John, was a trade union official. There are bound to be possibly many living. James was from Co Laois, I think, and Catherine (Kate) was a native of the Coolatin / Rathdrum area of Co Wicklow. Jaybee.

Hi Jaybee:

We do not give out information for living relations as we operate under the Data Protection and Privacy laws in Ireland which require information to be publicly given must be 100+ years ago. 

You might consider writing a letter to the Editor of the local newspaper in the area if you are hoping to reconnect with a particular family.  In addition, you can use the Irish genealogy website (which is free) for a search of marriages up to 1944, and deaths to 1969 for this family.  Civil births can also be searched to 1919.  http://www.irishgenealogy.ie

I would recommend that you consider using newspaper archives to search but these are also fee-paying.  Irish Newspaper Archives is very good, and you might be able to get a monthly rate. https://www.irishnewsarchive.com/

All the best,

Jane
