John William Lee b. 1871
Elizabeth Lee b. 1880 Highgate, yrks
William Lee b. 1917 Leyburn

Many thanks.

John William and his family are at Bellerby, Leyburn in 1921.

You can find this on a free search on Findmypast. However it costs £3.50p to see the image and £1.75p to see the transcription so I don't think anyone could afford to buy the images for you.

I can't see George and Arthur Johns around the Yorkshire area but the names are quite common so they could be anywhere.

Elizabeth
Lee
1880
Huggate, Yorkshire, England
Bellerby
Leyburn
Yorkshire (North Riding)

Elizabeth's with John William, William , and Sarah Alice , and also Arthur Johns 1906 Pocklington.

Perhaps that's the Arthur 1909 whom you mention?? Elizabeth's son, brother of George.
There are lots of mistranscriptions in 1921 census.

Robert Lee wasn't born until 1922.

??? Maybe George with wrong birthplace in transcription ??

George
Johns
1903
Durham, Durham, England
Harmby
Leyburn
Yorkshire (North Riding)

He's with William Harrison 1870, James William Harrison 1909, Caroline Harrison 1907, Charles Harrison 1920, Clara E Harrison 1917, Frederick Harrison 1904, Harold Harrison 1914, Mary Harrison 1877, Rodwell Harrison 1911.

There's also 1 other person with them, whom I haven't found yet - I can't look at the full transcription without paying..

You don’t have to be a subscriber to search the 1921 census. Anyone can do it. All transcriptions and images have to be paid for - even by FMP subscribers.

A slight correction to earlier info. Transcriptions cost £2.50 - not £1.75 as stated above

There is an Arthur Johns supposedly born 1906 in Pocklington In Leyburn in 1921. NO matching birth
John William, Elizabeth and 2 others are on this record

For £2.50, you can see the info in full

Or, by juggling, as I just have, find that the others on the record are all named LEE. Elizabeth, John William, Sarah Alice and William

It isn’t difficult to manipulate results, if you use advanced search

Names of other people (ie - the Lee family) with Arthur already posted - though no address, as I'm not paying to see the transcription.
