lol that's ok....off the top of my head (cus like I say I'm on my phone) Jeremiah was born 1840 in monmore green, which was a little mining/industrial area of Wolverhampton. He had a twin sister called Jane and one of his elder siblings - Samuel - was my great x4 grandad. Jeremiah was the son of another Samuel lees and Mary Collins, Samuel senior dies in the cholera epidemic in about 1849.
Jeremiah was a miner and became a Methodist preacher and was for a short while a missionary on America (early 1870s I think).
Ive got some info on him that someone kindly sent me that was like an in depth obituary when he died and it explains a bit about his life....send me ur email address on here but as a private message and I will email u the info tomorrow if u like.

I think I've found Samuel lees parents in Wolverhampton - another Samuel and Alice - but I'm talking about the 1790s and things get a little sketchy that far back don't they.
