Notes

In early 2009, Ellin Foden's granddaughter established contact with the owner and reports:

Matilda's surname was Hicken. Samuel died in early childhood.
After the death of their parents the four remaining children emigrated to New Zealand in 1878 to be with Enoch's brother and family. John later returned to England where he owned John Foden & Co in London until his death in 1941
