Trying to find Lee

Noah Alfred Lee (descendants of). Noah lived in Devon with his wife and two(?) children... early 1900's. He remarried and had another family, including a son in 1919. I am interested in discovering the first family of Noah from the Devon area - not to intrude on anyone's life, but to try to 'tie up loose ends' within the family line. Noah's son born in 1919 died in April 2004, remembering his visits to Devon to see his other brother and sister. Any information gratefully recieved. With thanks. NB: DEVON area turned out to be bit of a red herring - though Noah probably did spend time there, or even lived there at some point. Have found names and ages of Noah's first family! Wife was called Elizabeth (middle initial: M), and she was aged 34 at the time of the 1901 census. She died from cancer sometime between 1901 and 1913 - though possibly closer to 1901. She was born in St Heliers, Jersey - and was possibly quite famous, or had a close friend that was famous - may even have been the 'Jersey Lily'. Elizabeth and Noah had two children - both girls. The eldest (aged 6 years old at time of 1901 census) was also named Elizabeth - though her middle initial was J. The youngest was just 3 months old by the time the census was taking place in 1901 (census date is 31st March)... her name was Clarissa. Daughter Elizabeth was born in Burmondsey in London, while Clarissa was born in Worthing, Sussex. My family know little or nothing about what happened to Elizabeth and Clarissa - why they didn't live with their father at the time of their mothers death, whether they went on to marry and have children themselves... and we would all really like to find out. So.... if this information seems familiar, or ties in with any family tree here, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks again, Sheleen.
