Wesley's second wife was Lydia Milkes. An IGI source gives her date of
birth as 15 Aug 1852 and her parents as Richard & Margaret Wilks. An
examination of the census film indicates the first letter of the surname
as an "M". The handwriting is consistent with other "M" surnames.
Further research is necessary.
