Sue Can you give us the place of birth or the area they where living

Sorry Jane Should have put in the heading. Should be Derbyshire Thanks Jane Suexx

Could it be this one? There's an England family next door. 1861 census White Horse Yard, Chesterfield, derbyshire George Lee, head, 31. labourer at ???mills, born Walton, Derbyshire Mary, wife, 18, born Chesterfield, Derbyshire Alfred, son, 6, scholar, born Darnell, Yorkshire Joseph, son, 1, born Chesterfield, Derbyshire Was George married previously? Mary is awfully young to have a 6 yr. old son.

Margaret Your Brilliant.Thanks is it possible if you could do the 1871 and the 1881 please. I just need to see if I have the right children. Thanks Sue

Family next door. 1861 census White Horse Yard, Chesterfield, Derbyshire George England, head, 54, groom, born Doncaster, Yorkshire Elizabeth, wife, 38 or 58, born Smeaton, Yorkshire George, son, 21, steam sawyer journeyman, born Doncaster, Yorkshire

1871 census 16 White Horse Yard, Chesterfield, Derbyshire George Lee, head, 42, waggon builder, born Derby, Walton Mary, wife, 28, born Chesterfield Alfred, son, 16, waggon builder's apprentice, born YK, Darnall Joseph, son, 11, errand boy, born Chesterfield

Bit of a problem with 1881. I'll get back to you. I'm in Canada, got to go and get supper ready. Margaret

Margaret I think George must have been married before as like you think Mary was a bit too young to have a son 6yrs old. Suexxx

Margaret. Enjoy your meal. Suexxx

Margaret Thanks for all the look ups.Your a STAR I know I maybe asking a bit too much but is it possible that you could look on the 1851 census for either Darnell Yorkshire or Walton Derbyshire to see who George was married to please. Thanks Suexx Thanks Maureen for the 1881 I have seen this George Lee and I wasn't sure either because by then he and Mary should have been on their own. Suexxxx

Do you think this could be him in 1851? He's a widower at the tender age of 23. But this doesn't account for a child born in 1855. Upper Moor, Brampton, Derbyshire Richard Lee, head, 53, farmer's labourer, born Chesterfield Mary, wife, 50, born Wingerworth?, Derby George, son, widower, 23, ironstone miner, born Chesterfield Mary, dau, 9, scholar, born Brampton William, son, 2, born Brampton

Margaret That could be him as he could have had another wife after 1851 and she could have died maybe in Childbirth(surmising) and then he could have married Mary England in 1858. I'm like a dog with a bone just can't let go. Thanks Sorry to put you to so much trouble and thanks for all your help. Love Suexxxxxxxx

I think the one that Glitter Baby found in 1881 is correct. I saw it and thought that Mary might have died and George re-married. Couldn't check it though. (Meal peparation you know!) Anyway there's a death of Mary Lee, aged 35, in Chesterfield, March quarter 1877 and a marriage of George Lee to Mary Ellen Coup, June quarter 1880, Chesterfield. The full transcript of the 1881 census is: Post Office, Walton, Derbyshire William Dale, head, widower, 77, formerly farmer, born Buxton, Derby Mary Ellen Lee, dau, 46, post mistress, born Walton, Derby George Lee, son-in-law, 52, railway waggon builder, born Walton, Derby William Coupe, grandson, 15, railway waggon labourer, born Grampton, Derby Harry Coupe, grandson, 13, scholar, born Grampton, Derby So, Mary Ellen was born Dale and had previously been married to Coupe. Now to find George's sons.

Margaret On the 1881 Joseph Lee George's son was married to Sarah they had 3 children.Sarah is my Grt Grt Aunt's Daughter. This is why I was following up the LEE family.Joseph Died 1883. Haven't been able to find any info about Alfred Lee. Thanks so much I reallu appreciate yours and Glitter Baby(Maurren)'s help. Suexxxxxxxxxx

This looks like son Alfred in 1881: 3 Spring Place, Chesterfield, Derbyshire Alfred Lee, head, 26, railway waggon builder, born Darnall, Yorkshire Emily, wife, 23, born Chesterfield George Henry, son, 3, born Chesterfield Emma, dau, 3, born Chesterfield Florence Minnie, dau, 1, born Chesterfield Now, there's a double slash between this and the next entry which usually means another family but the address is the same and he's just listed as lodger: Sidney Lee, lodger, 24, colliery labourer, born Darnall, Yorkshire Curious!!! Now I've got to go and look for that Sidney Lee in 1871. Oh, I'm having fun!!

This little old lady is getting confused! Here's Sidney Lee in 1871: 2 Spa Lane, Chesterfield, Derbyshire Davis Sharratt, head, 42, ironstone miner, born Chesterfield Ann, wife, 42, born Brampton, Derbyshire Sidney Lee, nephew, 14, scholar, born Darnell, Yorkshire William Scott, lodger, 36, ironstone miner, born Guisborough, Yorkshire Off to look for him in 61.

1861 census Factory St., Walton, Derbyshire David Sharrott, head, 34, iron miner, born Newbold, Derby Ann, wife, 32, born, Brampton, Derby Sidney Lee, nephew, 4, scholar, born Darnell, Yorkshire Sarah White, sister-in-law, 40, single, pot handler, born Brampton Elizabeth White, niece, 1, born Chesterfield
