Hi Loretta
I'm sorry I don't have any connections to FORRESTERS that I know of so far.I agree that is very difficult to track down ODAMS family - I've found on several occasions that the name has been incorrectly transcribed as ADAMS.I've been unable to find out where my William ODAMS born <1800 came from - in the 1841 census for Northampton it stated he was not born in Northampton county - unfortunately he died before the 1851 census.His wife and 1st 2 children were born in Woburn, Bedfordshire so it is possible he came from somewhere in that area.
Do you know where your William Forrester came from?I could check them for you on the 1881 census if you don't already have that.You could also check on the GRO Marriage Index at your nearest Latter Day Saints (Mormon) Family History Library to find the reference number for Mary Jane's marriage to ?? Odams, somwhere between 1877 and 1887.
Let me know at [email protected] if you want the 1881 census checked or can't get to a LDS Library
