Thanks for the explanation of your interest. Unfortuneately, it is not the same family. The 1891 census family may well be yours, I cannot see that relates to my tree, although I'm tempted! The Macdouall's came from Scotland and as you rightly point out the variant spelling has made tracing the family a nightmare.I've yet to find out what happened to Sarah Ann Lee, I've traced a marriage to a Edmund Gissing that may well be correct, if so, she died at a young age and so did her son.
Thomas and Emma will remain a mystery unless, as you kind of hint she either remarried, or cohabited. Ond day someone may well solve the puzzle of Emma McDouall( B 1855) and Thomas Lee (B 1851).
