Trying to find Fletcher

From Diane Palmer FLETCHER FAMILY - COVENTRY I am trying to tie up various members of my Grandmother's family. Her name was Harriett Fletcher b 1872 wno married Arthur Ernest Lines. Her sister was Alice Fletcher b 1869 and I have traced her through to 1891 when she married Walter Sterland. It would be nice to contact any of Alice's family. Until now I didn't know Alice was my mother's aunt. My mother was Ivy Ethel Lines b 1912. Alice & Harriett's brother William Henry b 1867 I think died. From new information I have now found their father was William Henry b 1837 I understand born in Coventry, he had a sister Mary Ann Fletcher who was born in Louth, Lincolnshire and possibly a sister Louise also born in Louth (but no info of her in Coventry so presumably died young) New info - William b 1837 married Emma Connally. William and and had a daughter Mary Ann b1855 In Coventry. I think Emma died and William and daughter Mary Ann disappeared from Coventry for a while. William married again (abt 1865) to Caroline Keene who is the mother to Alice, Harriet and young William. On the Hot Matches I cancelled, by mistake, a reference to a William Fletcher and Mary Ann who were both said to have been born in Louth. I am wondering if these were any connection with my family. Places of birth and living often were changed. Any information to help me tie up these loose ends would be very much appreciated. Someone called Alison contacted me early 2006 about a Clara Fletcher and connections for Louth in Lincolnshire. If you think this might be our mutuals families please contact me again.
