George Lister was born about 1769. He was working as a shoemaker when he married Elizabeth Kitchingman (1770-1852) on 26 January 1795 and they had the following children:

According to the baptism records of their children the family were living at “Quarries” near Chapel Allerton.

At the time of the 1841, George and Elizabeth were living in Potternewton, presumably still at Quarries and, despite being about 70 years old, George was a labourer.

George died in July 1846 and was buried in St Matthew’s graveyard on 29 July.
