Taco, I found a solution. Instead of trying to adjust what I have in the preamble, I simply went to where I begin the Foreword and included [marking={Foreword}]:

\startforeword[marking={Foreword}][author={Author's name}].

And of course, to prevent the first page of Foreword from having the header, I have, in the preamble:

\setuphead
  [foreword]
  [frontpartlabel=foreword,
  header=empty,
   conversion=empty]

where the header=empty prevents that.

So, while your proposed solution did not work for my situation, it did work as a stimulus to think the matter through and see what other solutions I could come up with! Thank you.

For some reason that I cannot work out, the recto page header is not appearing 
in frontmatter sections like Foreword. It is important to note that for this 
item I am using:

\definehead
   [foreword] [chapter]…
‘chapter' suppresses the header by default on the first page.

at a guess:

   \setuphead[foreword][header=start]

Best wishes,
Taco
