Henry Coe LESTER ^2095,7093

   Other names for Henry were Henry LESTER,⁷⁰⁹² Henry C. LESTER ⁷⁰⁹³ and Henry Cole LESTER.¹

  Noted events in his life were:

1. Immigration: From Newfoundland, 1890, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. ⁷⁰⁹⁴ This event was shared with Annie Eliza BUTLER.

2. Census: Household of Henry C. Lester, 1901, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. ⁷⁰⁹⁴ Note that a niece named Miller Maher is living with them, born nominally 26 Oct. 1887 though his given birth date is wrong and this may be too. Annie's birth date is given as 28 July 1859 and on her death record and gravestone it gives her date of birth as 1857 so I suspect they gave the wrong dates of birth deliberatley for all of them. Not uncommon. A form of protest against a perceived invasion of privacy by the government I think. They were all stated to have immigrated in 1890 which I would be more inclined to believe as it would have been recorded. This event was shared with Annie Eliza BUTLER.

3. Occupation: Grocer, 1901, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. ⁷⁰⁹⁴

4. Living: From obituary of Anne Jennings Windsor Morry, 12 Mar 1903, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. ²⁴⁷¹ H. Lester was named as a pall bearer. His brother was married to Anna's sister, so it would seem likely that this was the H. Lester named in the obituary.

Henry married Annie Eliza BUTLER on 20 Dec 1880 in Topsail, Conception Bay South, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.⁷⁰⁹⁰ (Annie Eliza BUTLER was born in 1857 in Topsail, Conception Bay South, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada,⁷⁰⁹⁵ died on 17 Nov 1907 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada ⁷⁰⁹⁵ and was buried after 17 Nov 1907 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada ⁷⁰⁹⁵.)
