SEARCHING FOR INFO ON THE LEE FAMILY FROM WARE, HE

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Kathryn Report 6 Mar 2010 06:50

Hi, am trying to find any information on what happened to the Lee children, William Jnr, Nellie and Edith. William Jnr was born in 1897 in Ware, Hertfordshire, Nellie was born in 1898 in Ware, Hertfordshire and Edith was born in 1899 in Ware, Hertfordshire. Their parents were William Lee and Edith Lee nee Peacock. They lived at the Bourne in Ware. They are shown on the 1911 Census as still being in Ware. I am trying to find if there are any descendants of these children as I am particularly interested in young Edith's life. Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards

Kathryn

Have you tried looking on FreeBMD for possible marriages?

Dear Kathryn, I think we must be related! My father, George Charles Reginald Tidey, had a cousin William (Bill) Lee who lived at 38 Clement Street, Ware, Hertfordshire. We visited him several times when my brother, Richard and I were children and my father and I visited Bill just before my father's death in 1984 because dad wanted to put his mother's headstone on her grave in Ware cemetery. I spoke to my brother today and I think he's going to try to contact Bill's relatives by writing to his old address. I will let you know if I hear anything. I am keen to know what you know about Edith Lee (nee Peacock) because my maternal grandmother's mother was a Peacock who married a Pococke!! And my mother's line (Wakeling) derive from Essex.

Regards, Sue Bellord (nee Tidey)

Hello Susan, it's been a few months since Kathryn was last on this threads and she may not be checking for any more replies.

I would advise you to click on her name and send your message that way.

Also, try putting the names you are researching into the Search Trees box above to see if anyone else on this site has them in their tree. If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner.

It may be helpful for you to start a thread of your own - take a look at the 3rd message on the Community Trying to Find board for further advice. Regards. Cx
