In fact, the transcript on Familysearch says Satley, Durham but the sheet doesn't.

Francis William Jnr. may have remained in Suffolk.

There is a marriage in 1898 to Eliza Apter. She appears on the censuses in Lowestoft but without Francis (at sea?)

They are together in 1939 at Tenyson Road in Lowestoft. His birth is 21 Sep 1880, which is out by 2 years, although this is not uncommon on the register. He died in 1947 - born 1879 (reg Q4 1878).

Many thanks again, folks... Such a lot to digest with very plausible scenarios.

Possible death:

Francis W Lee, Dec qtr 1937, Hull, aged 73 (1864). 

The age would be well out compared to the records in Suffolk, but as the 1911 has him born c1861 maybe he just kept getting younger ;)

I haven't found his death yet, this may be worth looking into, especially in the E/R for 1936/7, then check the address against Margaret's [wife] in 1939.

Wow!

Thanks for that Alan.

I had Maggie/Margaret still alive in 1939, it looks like the correct Maggie, daughters Ena & Violet are correct. So father, William looks to be alive in 1919.

Thanks again

A bit of a mystery.

In 1874, Francis William Lee married Elizabeth Ann Harper.

She seems to be the wife of William on the 1881 census.

In 1891 she is on the census, married but no husband, with a daughter Emma Jane, born in Scarborough, Yorkshire.

In 1895, status widow, she married John Henry Capps. Elizabeth Lee, father - Robert Harper.

They are on the 1901 census in Lowestoft.

Given that there seems to be no marriage between Francis William and Margaret, was he still married to Elizabeth and did Elizabeth marry bigamously? Alternatively, was he presumed dead or a different Francis William?
