Looking for Grace Edwards in 1871/1881
« on: Friday 24 October 25 10:16 BST (UK) »
Born Grace Edwards in Clifton Bristol c1845 father Joseph mother Grace

In 1880 she marries Edward Neaves 48 widow occ painter as Grace Lester 34 widow father Joseph Edwards.
Residence at time of marriage 81 Hampstead Rd.  I cannot find a marriage to a Mr Lester or find her as Edwards or Lester in 1871.

In 1881 I can’t find her either as Neaves.  She and Edward had a daughter 30 Oct 1881, residence then 67 Pratt St Camden Town and another daughter in Dec 1883. 
Death for Grace Emily Neaves (no idea where the Emily has come from) same quarter Dec 1883.

Can anyone find a first marriage or any possible census sightings for her please?

Am I on the right track. Grace has 2 children with Edward Neaves. Grace dies 1883 and Edward remarries Caroline Orgles in 1885.

Yes that’s correct.  Edward has wives before and after Grace.

Only looking for Grace - marriage to Mr Lester and her whereabouts in 1871 as Edwards or Lester and in 1881 as Neaves.

Looking at Charles’ occupation, this looks interesting, but I cannot find the case in the old Bailey transcripts.

Sentenced to 15 yrs penal servitude in next column.

Added..found Old Bailey, which referred back to this case.
