Photograph - Newly discovered graveslab in Throapham Churchyard


Inscription reads:
Here
Lyeth the body of [N or M][l]a[??]er
The Daughter of [James]
and Esther Lister of
Guildingwells
Departed this life October
the ?? 1764 Aged ??

[Four lines of verse which are unreadable]

Probably the Daughter of Esther Ingall from Carlton and James Lister from Guildingwells who married in Throapham church on 27th or 29th July 1736 (sources give differing dates)

Daughter Margaret born 12/11/1737, Anne born 08/11/1739, Ester 06/06/1743, James 13/06/1747. Either Margaret or Ester are the most likely candidates. Does this also indicate she was never married (d. at age 27 or 21)
