hi there

his children are all listed about (however i missed out Elizabeth) and as far as i am aware they were all born in Derbyshire.

the info is through bits and pieces that some family members have helped with but i'm struggling a little as these are my fathers relatives and he died 7 years ago so obviously i have to go on what i find. thanks

WHEN were his children born? There is no point people tracing the Alfred Lee from Maidstone, Kent if yours came from Chesterfield, Derbyshire.

Have you found him with his children on any census?

LauraBMurphy

LauraBMurphy Report 26 Nov 2008 14:00

i've just traced back over some emails and he could have been married to an elizabeth fisher before sarah howe? also, there are names of samuel lee and mary aldred - can anyone look into these at all to see if these could be his parents?? thank you

There is a marriage for Samuel Lee and Mary Aldred but this doesn't prove that they are the parents of Alfred...

ok that's lovely, thank you!

is it not possible to find out what children samuel and mary had at all? sorry, i'm still trying to find out what things i can and can't do? :o)

Laura,

You are not answering any questions that we are asking you and are racing ahead to Samuel and Mary when you haven't even found Alfred yet!!

Can you tell us WHEN some of Alfred's children were born. Then we can hopefully find them on a census and work back from there.

Were the children with Sarah or Elizabeth? Do you have any idea of WHEN he could have married either of these ladies?

Julie,

apologies for not answering everything, but when several people are replying (which of course i am grateful for) it is easy to lose track! i do apreciate people taking time to help, but i would also ask people to bear with me as i'm not as used to this site as the regular members are. thanks

Laura

I know what you are say ing& that it can be a bit much when you are getting all this info

But you need to start from the begining

You say Alfred married Sarah Howe....Did you get her surname from 1 of the childrens Births...If yes where was that child born

I have Lee's in my tree and they havn't been easy to trace
