Richard Knight was 38 when he mrd Louisa he was a widower with a family. Louisa's fathers occupation from my interpretation is Latner which I understand to be a type of metal worker

Try Lancaster District Library, as suggested by this:

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/hospitalrecords/details.asp?id=1383&hospi

It says they have some records.

[EDIT: But it says the files are closed for 100 years.]
