His probate index:
Will of Thomas Furly Forster of Walthamstow , Essex
Reference: PROB 11/1705/410
Description: Will of Thomas Furly Forster of Walthamstow , Essex
Date: 24 November 1825
This has been ordered, if only to see if his occupation can be found.
_______________
In his will he lists:
His dear wife Susanna,
His children including Julie wife of T Forsfot,
His eldest son Thomas Forster,
His daughter Susanna now wife to B A Formandez,
Harriet his fourth child,
Marian his fifth child,
His son Edward
His brother Edward,
His father,
His uncle Thomas E Forster,
His uncle Thomas Furly (sounds like his mother's maiden name?),
His daughter-in-;aw Julie Forster,
His sister Dixon,
His partner, Mr James Soper (who 'always acted with the greatest kindness to me')
He went on at considerable length about his various collections, trophies and possessions and who they were to go to, one by one!
He even owned some manuscript letter of Locke on human understanding.
It went on for at least seven pages including the proving which occupied around two pages, restating most of the will.

In sum I am convinced that his family included his wife Susanna and his daughters Harriet and Marian, both of whom married clergymen.
