Hello again.

I have kindly been sent the entry of William and Marias marriage and I can see where the confusion comes from. The person who has written it, their 'y's look like 'z's and given that neither Maria or William could write I suppose saying Lester/Lusty/Lister may sound similar in some accents??

I'm convinced that Marias surname was Lusty, would you agree?

This is an amazing coincidence as we have friends with the surname Lusty AND it would appear these are her Lustys too! Spooky!

Thank you all again so much, you've been exceptionally helpful....again.

Best wishes.
