George

78

George Lister was a farm labourer, as well as father of three children by his wife Elizabeth. She had died in 1859 aged 65, just like his neighbour’s husband Joseph Wright.

George was the son of Thomas and Hannah Lister, and so the half-brother of Susanna, the wife of Jacob Harvey of Mouses and mother of Jacob Harvey junior. George's son James lived at the White House.

George Lister died in 1875 aged 85.
