In the tiny village of Lacit Nedi live 5 married couples with surnames Ashley Evelyn Hilary Lauren and Lesley . The husbands' first names are Ashley Evelyn Hilary Lauren and Lesley , and the wives' first names are also Ashley Evelyn Hilary Lauren and Lesley . Confused ? You soon will be .
Nobody has the same first name and surname .
Lesley is married to Lesley and their surname is the same as the first name of Mr. Lesley .
Mr. and Mrs. Lesley share the same first name
Ashley is married to Evelyn (their surname is not Mr. Evelyn's first name) but the other Ashley is not married to Hilary .
What are Lauren's wife's first name and surname ?

this was a puzzle in the times a week last Sunday, perhaps if someone still has last weeks times they will be able to assist you. I tried to do it but after Sunday lunch didn't have the brain power.!!
I think the couples are (husbands first):

Lesley & Lesley Hilary
Hilary & Hilary Lesley
Evelyn & Ashley Lauren
Ashley & Lauren Evelyn
Lauren & Evelyn Ashley
Would someone explain how to solve this puzzle, please ?

It has been driving me crazy since it was posted.

Thanks
