Find Ancestors

Go to the last post -- took some finding - but shows how you have to be a detective sometimes . give me time to add it



Louisa Wright 32 y spin.- married David Lester/Lister 30 y wdr. on 16 th November 1874 St Margarets Leicester.

Louisa's father William Wright - Cordwainer
David's father Tobias Lester - Cordwainer -- I have the details going back of
this family.
witnesses Tobias Lester X -- Ann Bates

Louisa I have not been able to find going back on any census 1871 - 1861- 1851

1881 she says born Northamptonshire
1891 she says born Leicestershire
1901 she says born Northampton St Giles

the surname could be intertwined with Knight ???

I wonder if father invented ??

need one or two more eyes to have a look for her please
