I have a James Lee and Susan Doe, married 11 Aug 1818 St Dunstans, Stepney, Middlesex
6 Baptisms to the couple:
Susannah 1819
Elizabeth Ann 1821
Sarah Mary 1822
James Charles William 1824
Thomas C 1826
Mary Ann 1828
All children born in Mile End Old Town. Father James occupation variously given as Cattle Dealer, Cattle Salesman, Drover, Butcher etc.
I have them on the 1841 Census at Bancroft Place, Mile End Old Town.
James Lee (Senior), 44, Drover, Middlesex
Susanna Lee, 42, Born Outside County
Elizabeth Lee, 20, Middlesex
James Lee, 19, Drover, Middlesex
Thomas Lee, 15, Labourer, Middlesex
Mary Lee, 13, Middlesex
There are marriages for the children in 1843, 1849, 1850, 1858. All of these have the father James following same trade, and none note him as deceased. All I know is he had died by 1885 when son Thomas remarried. He should then definently be on 1851 Census, and possibly too 1861, 1871 maybe even 1881. However can find no trace of him or Susan after 1841. Can anyone help. Without knowing their exact birth places tracing this family back further is proving a nightmare!
Thanks
