"Jun 30 1837.

[Signed] Elizabeth Simons, the Mother of the above. The mark of Martha Vann, the Grandmother of the above and who was present at the birth.Signed in my presence Thos Mayo" (ref Ancestry England & Wales Non-Conformist and Non-Parochial Registers".
It appears that in the nonconformist group, a reconciliation was made in the registers on 30th June 1837 of many children born up to decades ago. This could be assumed to relate to official registration starting in the following quarter. They are all probably not baptisms but registrations. Martha would have been Joseph's step grandmother, as Elizabeth's mother died when she was young.

Marr reg Dec qtr 1857 at Blaby dist of Charles Stanyon to Maria Warner FOSTER (ref FreeBMD). Bap of Maria WARNER 26 Jun 1837 at Wigston Magna Anglican, dau of James & Maria Warner (ref fmp image). However there is some confusion about her name, as in the 1841 census, she was Maria Warner age 4, and in the 1851 census she was Maria Foster age 14. Most likely scenario is that her father had previously married Sarah (surname unknown) and had Lois (bap 1832, died 1847, both as Warner). It may be Sarah's burial 3 Apr 1835 age 38. Then it is likely James Warner and Maria Foster had a defacto arrangement for the birth of Maria, George, Helen and Sarah, all registered as Warner with mother's name Foster. There is a possible death registration for James in Mar qtr 1850 at Leicester age 48. In the 1851 census the mother Maria is a widow and calls herself and all the children FOSTER. No further information has been found.
