I am looking for the parents of John M Lees and Emily Harrison
He married Emily Harrison 21 Oct 1830 —Manchester
They had a daughter Louisa Ann Lees born 1832, on her death notice 1859 "eldest daughter of the late John M. LEES Esq
Manchester.
I have found Emily Lees [probably widow] on all the census living with her brother in law Abraham Lees born Huddersfield.
Any help would be most welcome

Hi Carole,
the christening looks as though it could be helpful with the 'Gould' name also. :)
Abraham in a later census and in his will is named Abraham Hodgson Lees so that's perhaps another possible help.
Both Abraham and Emily left wills so perhaps John did too. The available indexes aren't available for that time though.
regards

Carole,
that's brilliant. I had called myself to look- perhaps just for Abraham but there we are ::)
Well done- I do like it when there is a result.
best wishes

Thank you both I spent ages last night searching, never thought a different spelling of Maladew would find his birth.
I am related through Louisa Ann Lees husband Henry Lafone

Bricklewood,
Just for info:
there is a tree for Eliza Mary Lees (no siblings shown) but her parents are named as John Lees and Martha Hodgson.
She married Joseph Grave and in
1851 HO107; Piece: 2222; Folio: 188; Page: 10
is living in Broughton not far from Emily Lees and Abraham.
