Hi Jaz,

I can't see an exact match, but I can see a likely candidate:

1871
RG10/2404 18 7
Yarcombe, Devon
Roost Cott

John Lee, head, 60, Gardener, b. Whitestanton Somerset
Elizabeth, wife, 55, 'Waserwoman', b. Dalwood Devon
John Lee, son, 18, Ag lab, b. Yarcombe
Mary Lee, dau, 19, Dressmaker, b. do.
George Board, grandson, 5, b. Otterford Somerset

He's a farm servant at Yarcombe in 1881

RG11/2385 69 5

 "My dear, I think the English pronounce it 'appiness"  

I'm afraid of no ghost

Going back to 1861, John and Elizabeth also had a daughter Susan born Yarcombe ca. 1844.

There's a marriage Susan Lee to possibly Robert Board in Chard district, Jun 1863 and this looks like the family in 1881:

RG11/2364 39 15
