No way to tell is this is the one you are looking for-

Londonderry Standard, 12 May 1959: CO. DERRYMAN IN HOSPITAL. INJURED IN MOTOR CYCLE CRASH. Samuel Walker (57), of Ardmore, was admitted to the Derry City and County Hospital yesterday with injuries following a motor-cycle crash. His condition is not serious, ...


IF he was from Derry City then this one in 1911 is closest in age-

I wonder who Henry from Frome in the 1861 census was? He never really made any sense (as a Lester!)

I couldn't find a match on the 1851 census - this is the only Henry I could find living in Frome born c 1804 surname RYMAN born Bath Somerset his wife named Mary, he married in 1845 Mary Maitland occ coachman

1851c https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SGGP-XLV?lang=en

1845 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6DM5-DKX3?lang=en

I also found this Charles Lester entry last night for 17 July 1871
Admissions to Brookwood Asylum Woking
He is down as 43 married and a clerk
Can’t read his address 39 ?  Street Horsleydown

Oh wow, reception order is on ancestry.
Nearest relative - Grace Lester 39 Queen Street Horslydown Southwark S.E. Wife
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/1557/images/31952_a013494-00026

As per the Brookwood record -
From those national admission indexes on ancestry, Chas Lester was admitted to Colney Hatch  as a pauper patient, 17 October 1871. Discharged 7 November 1871, Recovered.

Well found jonwarrn  :) surely it has to be them - have added a snippet showing Grace's name

;D

Whilst we await the magic crystal ball have ordered the marriage for Clara Maud Lester.
It may not tell us anything new but curious to see what is in the father’s box if nothing else.

Don’t know if that is our Charles though as he was miles away for the census earlier that year  :-\

Is it Queen  :-\

their children I have traced

Where was the youngest child in 1911?

have you looked to see if the parents died?

Hi Milliepede I was looking at the following

Gladys Muriel Wood 17 is a pupil in Bangor Wales 1911, in Hertfordshire 1921 she died 1956 Northampton  Probate to sister Gloria Christabel Wood Paranagua

Gloria Wood 13 is a pupil in Yorkshire 1911, still in Yorkshire 1921. There is  a 1947 passenger list for Gloria Paranagua leaving Southampton

I can't see anything obvious for their parents deaths between 1901 - 1911  :-\ apart from a death Dec 1911 Chorlton for a Guy Wood age 57 born c1854
