Hi

I am reseaching the Lee Family. I have traced back James Lee married to Agnes Lee (nee Grim) on the 1871 census he gives his place of birth as Durham/Sunderland and aged 50 other information one of his sons was James Edgar Lee.

If any member can supply any information  about James father  and mother or any grandparents this would be most helpful to me as living in London it is rather difficult for me to trace records in Durham.

Thank you in advance for any help

Hi rosie99

Thanks for the information, great to have it confirmed.

 
The Lee's London history I can trace to the present day, its the Durham/Sunderland that the sticking point.

Many thanks for you help so far
