Yes that looks like the daughter who took on the business after her mother and father

Just came across this (as you do) when looking for something completely different

I found J H Belville in 1841 and 1851, but he rather boringly lists his occupation as "Astronomer" and
"Civil service of the Royal Observatory". Not found the widow and daughter who took on the time selling business.

John Lee married Mary Ann Tuddenham on 7 Feb 1842 in Little Snoring, marriage record on FindMyPast. His father was James Lee (labourer).
1851 gives his birthplace as Brisley, a bit south of Fakenham.

It looks like Mary Ann Lee was actually born in Little Snoring (close to Fakenham) d/o John Lee and his wife Mary Ann abt 1852. John Lee was born abt 1826 in Snoring according to censuses. I don't yet see a connection to the various Robert Lees around Barford
