I have had trawled through the census records and FamilySearch.org for the following line:
****Alfred Gee (1862 or 1864 Leicester) Shoe finisher m. Elizabeth Ball (1863 Oakham)
*** Thomas Gee (1827 or 1829 Blaby) Framework Knitter m. Mary A Watts (1831 Hinckley)
***[1851 census confusing - no sign of Mary Ann, may not be married yet? There is a Thomas down as Stocking Maker from Barkby with a one year old]
**William Gee (1795/6 Blaby) Stocking Weaver m. Charlotte Bann (1798)
or ** Thomas Gee (1786 Blaby) Agricultural Labourer m. Mary ........
*Marmon? Gee (Mamon perhaps) 1766 m. Sarah Wood
*John Gee 1712 m. Eunice Freer
~~~~~~~~-------------------------------
**** Certain
*** Iffy ............ my assumptions based on Village and Type of work.
** very Iffy............ based on Village.
* probably tosh
Anybody any reasonable suggestions please.

Not really understanding what you are looking for her?
Are you searching for the family of Alfred Gee 1862 Leicester and his descendants?
or ascendants
the 1891 census shows alfred and Elizabeth living in Leicester with a son Alfred..
the 1871 shows this
Alfred West 25
Sarah West 22
Mary West 10 months
Thomas Gee 41
Mary Gee 40
John Gee 17
Charlotte Gee 14
Thomas Gee 12
Alfred Gee 7
Elizabeth Gee 4
1901 has this:
Alfred Gee 37
Elizabeth Gee 38
Charles William Stubley 15
Alfred Gee 11
Frances Gertrude Gee 8
Arthur Edgar Gee 7
Walter Sidney Gee 5
Thomas Gee 1
charles william stubley is down as stepson

Thanks Xin,
Sorry, did not explain myself very well.
The Elizabeth Gee in the 1901 census was married previously to a Tom Stubley who died hence William living with the Gee's.
I believe I have the Gee's correct from the 1861 census forward in time but cannot accurately go back in time and am not sure what to do next.

okay
So you are trying to find the parentage of Alfred Gee
and then the maiden name of Elizabeth formerly Stubley to lead to her parentage...
Uhhhmm ok thinking on that and will see if i can help

Thomas Stubley married an Elizabeth Venable in June 1853 in Leicester..
a.n. other Thomas Stubley married an Eliza Dexter in Leicester also in 1853
Thomas died 1864
this is all toooo early for the stepson who is 15 in 1901 he would have been born in 1886
did I get the yr wrong when quoting 1901 census... ?? will check again
so still looking
xin

Sorry Martin
I am getting a little confused here I think...
I have searched for marriages of Thomas Stubley to try and find Elizabeth 's maiden name..
what I can gather from you is that you need to find Alfred Gees parents and his wife Elizabeths therefore we need to find her maiden name..
but the ages dont add up for me... the 1901 census has Alfreds wife as 38 meaning born 1863 ... therefore marrying 1st time around 1883 / 1888 but to have had a couple of kids by 1901 and a.n. other marriage.................... is where I am getting confused.. I will leave it for now and see if I have more time over the weekend ..
But I am sure you will get help from someone with more brain cells than me......

FreeBMD gives the births of 2 Alfred Gee's in Leicester , in 1863 and 1864 (not 1862) - but one of these died in 1866.
Just to confuse the issue, there's also the birth of an Alfred Gee in Blaby in 1865!
Alfred m Elizabeth Stubley in Billesden reg district in 1889 (ie not Leicester town).
There are 2 possible Stubley/Elizabeth marriages - and since you mention Tom Stubley, Tom Stubley m Elizabeth Ball Leicester 1885, and there was indeed an Elizabeth Ball whose birth was registered in Oakham in 1863.
In 1881, there are 2 Alfred Gees of the right age in Leicestershire. One lives in Countesthorpe, which is in the Blaby area; the other is in Humberstone Leicester, and is the son of Thomas and Mary Gee, siblings Elizabeth and Mary A. Thomas was born in Blaby, Mary in Hinckley and the children all in St Margaret's.

Xinia, you're typing faster than me!!
-
Thomas and Mary Gee are in the 1861 census with children Ann(9), John (7), Charlotte (5) and Thomas(1).
Thomas Gee m Mary Ann Watts in Leicester in June 1854 (how sure are you that this is the right Mary? There are several other Thomas Gee marraiges in the county). This clearly wouldn't fit with Ann's birth though of course she could have been born before Thomas and Mary married (Ann Watts birth regd 1851).
-
sorry Annie
well i searched these due to finding
Elizabeth Ball Oakham 1863 daughter of Samuel and Hannah but then in 1871 Samuel is 65 and a cooper born loughborough
and Hannah born Grantham age 44 so below is probably wrong
;D ??? ??? ??? ::)dementia lo siento :-\
I have searched and searched enuff 4 2day
BUT
I think I found part of the problem
Samuel Balls marriage to Hannah
I think there is a slip up in bmd transcription I found Samuel s marriage and 7a 28a
and then an Hannah Browett 7a 284
June 1857
so see where this leads...
night night
leaving it to the people who can think straight ..... :D ;)

Thanks for your efforts.
It is only the Gee line I am interested in.
I have a copy birth cert. of Alfred Gee (1890)
His father also an Alfred (shoe finisher), mother Elizabeth, formerly Ball ( also briefly Stubley, I now think).
The marriage is registered on FreeBMD as Alfred Gee/Elizabeth Stubley, June 1889 in Billesden.
So, I need to find out the name of Alfred's father to have a chance of a little more accuracy.
Has anybody got access to parish record marriages to clear this stage up?
(3 - Alfred Gee's born between 1863-1865, 2 in Leicester, 1 died and 1 in Blaby). Free BMD.
Cheers.

Hey all,
My great great grandmother was Elizabeth Gee, daughter or Thomas and Mary Ann Gee.
Her brothers were Thomas, Alfred and John Watts Gee.

In Drobbly's post earlier he mentions that his ancestor William Gee married Elizabeth Sneath in Ayston on 1 June 1830. According to the Family Search site a William Gee married an Elizabeth Evertt in Ayston on 31 May 1830. The same site also states that William Gee married Elizabeth Sneath on 31 May 1830. I guess that they can't both be correct. Ayston was too small a village to have such a coincidence surely!
I appreciate that Family Search may not always be correct, given the source of some of its records, but I'd be interested in the provenance of Drobbly's source because if both are intended to be the same marriage, one of the records must be incorrect.
I ask because I believe that this William Gee was one of my great great grandfathers.
cheers

I have some Gees in my family tree. My gt gt gt grandmother Mary Gee (1777-1828) of Barwell. Her father was Thomas. This is the only info i have on them so be great if anyone can help me with anything else My Mary Gee married Daniel Dale.

Just tagging this thread so I can find it again.......
Ann Elizabeth Gee born 1830 Welford, Northamptonshire married John Hames Lutterworth district 1859 they lived at Rotherby Leicester until John died then Ann was in Husbands Bosworth Leicestershire
Only found her surname yesterday so no idea about other family parents/siblings etc but do know many 'Leicester Families' who did move from Northamptonshire especially from the connecting lines of the 'Barrett', 'Skinner' 'Thompson' shoe families

Hello Michelle,
Hope you are still on the site.
If so could you send me a photo of your father or grandfather I would be interested to see if there is any resemblance.

Where are you in the country?

Hello.
I have just wandered onto this post.
My great grandmother was Francis Gertrude Gee.
I am going to read this thread though thoroughly as I think this is my family !

The Sneath marriage is correct, one of the sons had a middle name of Sneath, sorry it took so long to reply
-
Wow Drobbly, that was a long time but thanks anyway.
Since I first posted that, findmypast has published images of parish marriage records and there is one for this marriage. So, as you say, the lady's name was definitely Sneath and the marriage took place on 31 May 1830, the day after the third banns were announced. The couple were my great great grandparents on my mother's side.
Are we therefore related?
Tony
