Looking for Grace Edwards in 1871/1881

In the criminal records on ancestry, he is Charles Lister, not Lester.
‘ Habitually Criminals Register’ - Charles Lister, alias Edward Hunt, Barman, born 1850, London.

probably this is him on 1881 census

Where born   London, Middlesex
Street Address   "H M Convict Prison" Chatham Kent

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

Proving pretty elusive 

Is this her baptism?

Grace Edwards
Baptism 20 Jul 1845 Clifton, St John the Evangelist, Gloucestershire
Father Joseph, labourer Mother   Grace

Did her mother Grace remarry a William Parslow?

[Milliepede]

Gosh thanks everyone for the input.  Adams is a new surname in the mix and the Lester child Clara.

Have to go out shortly but there is a Maud Clara Lester age 12 lodger with a Darbon family in 1891 Hammersmith to check out.

If Charles was alive and imprisoned in 1881 then Grace wasn’t a widow in 1880.  But then if she never married Charles in the first place it wouldn’t matter.  Lot to think about.

Yes Ladyhawk that is the correct baptism for Grace Edwards and her mother did remarry to Parslow.

A tree on Anc suggests that Maud Clara Lester married a Thomas Arthur Wilkins and I noticed a possible marriage in 1905.

Following Charles Lister if I have the correct one is easy from marriage in 1890 until death in 1904.

However, as requested Milliepede only wants Grace in 1871/81 and Edward Neaves.

On 15.2.1884 Maud Lester enters school. Her dob recorded as 17.8.1879. Her father recorded as Edward Lester, abode 10 College Grove, Camden.

Thank you so Maud is alive in 1881 but who was she living with  . Can’t have been her father if he was in prison.
Mother was married to Edward Neaves by then.  Can’t work out the Adams surname yet but it’s looking like the same woman throughout.

I am not sure about all this really.
The baptism and birth shown have Charles Lester as a clerk/commercial clerk.
The official criminal records show Charles Lister as a barman.

One of the first newspaper entries I found had him as a clerk, which was why I continued looking. But agree, most inconsiderate of him to become a barman.
