LEE family puzzle

[cando]

I've noticed a couple of public trees with the incorrect parents for James LEE who married in 1890.  The Marriage Index shows his father to be John LEE.

I stand Corrected,and apologies for having the wrong James Lee.
He is a big blank in the family, nobody ever spoke of him.
What I really need is where his parents came from and their family.

Dee has given you a lot of information about James b.1866 in her initial post. This is possibly James parent's marriage mentioned by Dee.  I do hope you found the information I posted also useful.  You appear to be a descendant of Leonard Walter LEE.

Marriages Dec 1865 
LEE    John         St. Lukes    1b/1192    
McKENNE    Anna     St Luke    1b/1192

That's the marriage I found, Cando. Unfortunately, I haven't found it in more detail in other online records, so it may mean that a marriage certificate needs to be purchased to find out who John's parents were.

There are just so many by the name of John Lee.

Hello again, Dee & Cando,
Yes I am the youngest son of L.W. LEE
Dad was a baker before he went away to WW1 at the age of 19yrs.
We thought that maybe his father was a baker (he never said)
I will go and get a Birth Certificate henceforth and give you the information it will take at least a fortnight
to 3weeks.

Boblee, to find out who John Lee's father was you need the UK marriage certificate, not the birth certificate.

Cando posted the details needed for ordering that in message #47.

 :)I am a newbie and not techno savvy so here goes! I happened upon The Lee Puzzle chat and was amazed to find info on my LEE ancestor Ann LEE.  I know lots about how shE came to Australia in 1881 on the Star of India - arrived March 1881.  She was accompanied by her children - James, Peter, Elizabeth Ann (my great, great grandmother), Frank, Bertha, and Constance Mary.  I have not been able to find out when John LEE Ann's husband died or they were divorced.  Ann had a child Charles Henry William Christopher TATHAM to a Charles TATHAM in 1882.  She had a daughter to the same man in 1884.  she was Alice TATHAM (her birth was registered in that name as well as Alice Tatham KENNA).  In 1921 my grandmother was married at the home of George MCKAY, husband of Alice.  James was married at the home of parents at Nailsworth.  In 1892 Ann LEE married a Thomas Henry HEWITT.

Could you give a link to The Lee Puzzle Chat?
