Lee family, Deptford

[Ace92]

Hi, am trying to find William Lee and his wife Jane (maiden name unknown, couldn't find their marriage record) on the 1841 and 1851 census in Deptford.

William Lee was born about 1807, most likely in Tweedmouth, Northumberland. His occupation could have been millwright or engineer of some kind.

They had 2 daughters Mary Ann (born in 1838, died the same year) and Isabella (born in 1840), baptised in Deptford St Nicholas. At that time they lived in Union Street.

Later they had 2 sons Charles Mace Lee (b. 1844) and William Robert Lee (b. 1846). They seem to have resided at 14, Flagon Row.

They may have had another son George.

Any help is appreciated,

I can find birth registrations for Mary Ann and Charles that state mother's maiden name is Mace (not found the others yet to confirm)

William Lee Q2 1846 Greenwich, mmn Mace. Not sure how I missed him

There's a Henry Roscoe Lee with mmn Mace b 1850 in Stockport, but his parents are James and Elizabeth

Yes, I've seen this record, but couldn't confirm it's the William I'm looking for and can't imagine why he would be living in Pentrich, as he's supposed to be a shipwright/millwright and comes from a family of boatbuilders.

But then they had a son named George born in 1836 in Pentrich, Derbyshire, so it's possible that's the record I'm looking for.

Thanks again!

The Cromford canal is nearby - he could have been working on the barges

Quite possible, I will have to look into it more

Thank you
