Hi,

Possible marriage in Dec qtr 1846 in Birmingham Reg'n District.
Edward LEE to Ann Maria PUGH [see 1851 census for the Pugh connection]

On the 1851 census, Edward, age 26 and Maria, age 24 are in Birmingham.
They have a 1 year daughter Maria.
Also listed with them is a 'sister' Sarah PUGH, age 20.
Everyone listed as being born in Birmingham.

On the 1861 census, Edward, age 35 and Maria, age 29 are in Birmingham.
Now they have two children. Maria age 12 and Caroline age 3.
Everyone listed as being born in Birmingham.

In 1881, Edward is still stating he was born in Birmingham.
