1851 Hertford look up Alfred W Lees
« on: Friday 10 December 04 23:03 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,just when I thought I had managed to locate my forefathers another one springs up ;D.I have just found Alfred W Lees born in Hertford circa 1841 living in Wolverhampton in 1871 and working as a tailor.As both my gg grandfather and g grandfather were  tailors from Hertford I am almost certain this is a relation.Could SKS please look up the 1851 for Hertford or Bengeo for the following family to see if Alfred is with them?
Thomas Lees        b.circa 1811    tailor
Mary       "           b.1815 Datchworth
Thomas   "           b.1836 Hertford
William     "           b.1837       "
and any other children with them(they eventually had 11 not counting Alfred)
Thanks in anticipation,Pete 8)

Hi David,thanks for the look up.The plot thickens,I wonder if he is a cousin from Puckeridge.One good thing though you have given me a birthplace for my gg grandfather Thomas.Thanks again,Pete 8)
