They settled in Brussels in 1833 and after travelling across Europe they settled in Bruges in 1836 and then returned to Brussels in 1837.
Patrick also included the following, that was translated by Microsoft Word from an original French Document:
After completing his law studies, he enrolled in medicine and became Bachelor of Medicine (University of Cambridge) in 1819.See John Burke's text below.
A naturalist, he was also passionate about astronomy, mechanics and aerostatics.
He was a member of the famous Linnean Society and the Royal Astronomical Society.

In 1820 he published the letters exchanged with the philosopher John Locke, author of the famous 'Letters on Tolerance' and he was in possession of the original of John Locke's famous manuscript 'Essay concerning human understanding'.
These documents belonged to Benjamin Furly, his great-great-uncle and friend of John Locke.
He appeared 'Researches about Atmospheric Phenomena in 1812, 'Liber rerum naturalium' in 1805, Perpetual Calendar in 1824, Collection of my life in 1835, Observations on the influence of the Comets in 1836, Sati in 1843, Epistolarium Forsnumteria and Annals of a Physicist Traveller in 1848.
He is also the author of the collection ' Philosophia Musarum ' which contains notes and poems. See what John Burke, the well-known historian wrote about Thomas Ignatius Forster. 'This gentleman who was educated at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he graduated as Bachelor of Medecine, is an able and learned writer and has published twenty-four works on science and literature.
He and his brother Edward, have returned to the Catholic church, to which their ancestors had belonged until the rebellion of 1715.
FURTHER to the above, Patrick also included in his Family History, the following, attributed to Sir Thomas:
Thomas Ignatius Forster wrote about his mother:
My mother, born Suzanne WILLIAMS, is from a former Welsh family. His mother was the sister of botanist M.T.H. Hackney Sikes in Middlesex.
[The Quote continues, speaking about Sir Thomas]
He is a great botanist and plant designer and much of his collection ended up in Oorbeek.

He was also the author of 'The Pocket Encyclopedia of Natural Phenomena' published by Thomas Forster, his son.
Wikipedia says of Sir Thomas,
Thomas Ignatius Maria Forster FRS FLS (9 November 1789 \endash 2 February 1860) was an English astronomer, physician, naturalist and philosopher. An early animal rights activist, he promoted vegetarianism and founded the Animals' Friend Society with Lewis Gompertz. He published pamphlets on a wide variety of subjects, including morality, Pythagorean philosophy, bird migration, Sati, and "phrenology", a term that he coined in 1815; and,
Forster was born in London, the eldest son of Thomas Furly Forster of Walthamstow who was a botanist, and follower of Jean-Jacques Rousseau.[1] He did not have the conventional classical literary education, but learned some science from his uncle Benjamin Meggot Forster.[2] The Great Comet of 1811 aroused his interest in astronomy, a science which he continued to pursue, and eight years later, on 3 July 1819, he himself discovered a new comet. He declined a fellowship to the Royal Society in 1816 as he disliked some of the rules. He matriculated at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, in order to study law, but soon abandoned it to study medicine, taking his degree in 1819.[3] Two years before, he had married Julia, daughter of Colonel Mark Beaufoy, and taken up residence at Spa Lodge, Tunbridge Wells. After the birth of his only daughter he moved to Hartwell in Sussex, and then spent three years abroad. During the 1820s, he converted to Roman Catholicism.[1][4]

After his return to England he became a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and helped to found a meteorological society along with Sir Richard Phillips, which had only a brief existence.[1]

After his father's death in 1825, he took up his residence in Chelmsford in order to be near his daughter, then a pupil at Newhall Convent. Here he undertook a series of researches on the influence of atmospheric conditions on diseases, and particularly on cholera which also involved a balloon ascent in April 1831. In 1833 he again went abroad, where he spent most of his remaining years, settling finally in Bruges. He continued writing during the latter part of his life, including poetry. He also composed selections for the violin. He numbered among his friends authors and scholars of his time, such as Thomas Gray, Richard Porson, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Thomas Love Peacock, William Herschel, and William Whewell.[1] He became a vegetarian, following a Pythagorean diet, and along with Lewis Gompertz, founded the Animals' Friend Society in 1833.[5]

Forster lived in Bruges from 1842 until 1852. He then moved to Brussels, where he died.

Thomas married Julia BAUFOY [120042]. Julia was born on 11 Jul 1790 in London Middlesex England and died in 1870 at age 80.

Another name for Henry was Abdallah [Pasha] EL INGLIZI.

General Notes: In an e-Mail, dated January 19, 2013, Patrick Grigsby included the following:
Earlier in his army life, Henry Selby Rickards had come to Egypt where he settled in early 1840's, converting to Islam, he went on the Hajj so that he could marry "Hanim" Fatoom. On his conversion, he changed his name to Abdallah (servant of Allah) and was later elevated by the then khedive, Abbas Pasha, and came to be known as Abdallah Pasha il Ingilizi. His Egyptian wife was the daughter of a [religious] Sheik, possibly attached to Cairo's famous Al-Azhar mosque/university. The Family were believed to be direct descendants of the prophet Mohammad; but this is in some doubt. They had seven children, the eldest Amin was known to my mother as 'uncle Amin'. I have the Works of William Shakespear, a tome that is insribed, "To dear Doshia from her uncle - Amin Abdallah - 17/9/18". During the first World War, my grand mother Mariam with my mother and her two sisters were evacuated from Turkey to Egypt whilst my grandfather was with the British/Anzac forces at Gallipoli my Uncle William on the Somme in France. In spite of Turkey being on the German side, when the Rickards family returned to Mersin the Turkish authorities handed back, intact with contents, the many properties that my grand father owned in Mersin.
AND, in an e-Mail from Noha Sadek, received on February the 12th, 2013, she substantiated much of what Patrick has said; but added:
Henry Rickards held several positions in the Egyptian administration, including that of the first director of the Egyptian railways in 1853, but he was dismissed the following year when Khedive Said came to power. HSR left Egypt in 1869 for England until a final move to Lebanon in 1876.
In an e-Mail from James Wilkinson in May 2013, he included the following Quote from Nick Rickards:
As a teenager, Henry went to Portugal to join a "private army" of the Queen of Portugal \endash probably all mercenaries - and he stayed there until he was in his early 20's At some point, he arrived in Egypt as a translator for the British Colonial service and made a career in Cairo and Alexandria. For a year, he was the Director General of the Egyptian state railways, working with George Stephenson to build the Cairo to Alexandria railroad. His portrait is hung in the municipal museum in Cairo. After that year, he was replaced by an Egyptian but became a "General in the Egyptian Service" and was called Abdallah Pasha El Ingles.
