This is what all I found for u, hope it helps.

James (Foster) Forster & Ellen Bryans children:
Harriet Elizabeth Forster b. 7 Aug 1868, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland
Margaret Ann Forster b. 8 Jan 1866, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland
William Henry Forster b. 27 Apr 1864, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland
Kate Forster b. 17 Jul 1869, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland
Although this family and the dob's of their children would fit the timeline, I could not nail down a James in Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland for them. It's a place to start looking though.

FOSTER (FORSTER or FORESTER or FORRESTER) all derived from FORRESTER.

Andrew Forster & Margaret McGrath children:
James Forster - b. 11 Sep 1864, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland
Margaret Jane Forster - b. 20 May 1866

Here are a few others born in Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland about this time also, they could be relatives, and are most likely.

James Foster & Mary McBrine
George Foster - 25 Dec 1865, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland

Robert Forster & Anne Beacon
Anne Jane Forster - 29 Jun 1868, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland

William Forster & Elizabeth Anderson

Francis Forster - born Abt 1781, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland
Francis Forster - born 1745, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland
Joseph Forster - born 1792, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland

I found a few marriages that might help as well.

Francis Forster m. 25 May 1806, Susanna Sarjeant, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland
John Forster m. 2 Jan 1805, Margaret Woods, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland
Margaret Ann Forster m. 03 Jun 1908, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland

Margaret Forster m. 20 Feb 1849, Thomas Rennick, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland
Mary Foster m. 6 May 1812, John Kindale, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland
Mary Foster m. 23 Aug 1836, William Armstrong, Linaskea, Fermanagh, Ireland

And this --> was the only James I found with a father named Thomas.....
James Foster born 4 Aug 1866 to Thomas Foster & Mary Rielly in Drumcondra, Meath, Ireland

Let me know if this helps.

My Grandfather, James A. Foster, was born in County Fermanagh, Ireland in
about 1863. I believe his fathers' name was Thomas. I am seeking any
confirmation of his birth date, knowledge of his mothers name and family,
information on his fathers family, knowledge of his brothers and or sisters.
I have information that indicates he had at least two sisters, one named
Hattie and the other married a Robinson of a local family around Lisnaskea.
My grandfathers' family were all farmers as far as I have been able to
determine and had been in the area for at least three generations when he was
born. Any assistance or information would be helpful.

James Arthur Foster
