John M Lees

[Bricklewood]

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
