In Wrexham Cemetery there as a grave of Elizabeth Lees and Catherine Hughes. According to the inscription they were sisters and Catherine is `Kate`
ELIZABETH LEES age 52 17 PENYBRYN buried14/11/1887 01122
CATHERINE HUGHES age 59 42 CRISPIN LANE, STANSTY buried 08/11/1887 01122
The plot was bought by Edward Hughes, 65 Noyna?Road, Upper Tooting, London, he was a writing clerk. Could he be a brother
Elizabeths husband John died a few years later, his grave is next to the sisters and that was bought by Thomas Lees, 357 Stretford Road, Manchester, watchmaker.
In 1851 there is a John Lees b Halifax ,aged 15 a watch and clock maker . He has a brother Thomas. His father James is a watchmaker. This seems to be the brother Thomas who paid for the plot.
1881

So far I’ve got Elizabeth, but where is her sister Catherine / Kate.
Apart from her burial and an announcent in the Wrexham Advertiser, I `ve not found her anywhere else.
Catherine Hughes aged 59 died at 42 Crispin Lane. Nov 5th 1887.
There has been some confusion with a woman of the same name at 43 Crispin Lane, who was a grocer in 1881.
There was another family of Hughes the grocers, could they be linked to the 1851 Thomas Hughes who was born Halkyn. . They could have moved to the Crispin Lane address after the other Catherine moved .
