Samuel Alexander Lee - Birth/ Parents

[O.R.A.W.M.U]

Good morning

Would anyone be able to clarify the birth of Samuel Alexander Lee please?

I have that he married Elizabeth Withers Coston at St Bedes Jarrow 27th August 1872. According to a newspaper article he is Samuel (Jnr)

I have found Elizabeth birth record
1853  Jun  KING'S LYNN 04B  350  mmm Diggins(?)

Children:
William Alexander Lee 1873-?? (born Jarrow)
Samuel Rivers Lee 1877-1879
Robert Samuel Waters Lee 1880-1945
Emily Cowan Rowart Lee 1883-

In 1891 Elizabeth is living at 108 Bath Lane, Newcastle upon Tyne , she is widowed and has an occupation as a merchant in Fur along with her 2 sons.

Samuel Alexander Lee I’m struggling to find anything on him..


Thanks

You have posted in Essex - was he born there?
What was his occupation on his marriage certificate and also his father’s occupation?

[O.R.A.W.M.U]

Apologies, had not realised I was in Essex!

I don’t yet have the marriage cert. I only know it was at st bedes Jarrow (south Tyneside)

I do not know where he was born as I’m unable to locate his birth.

All his children born Jarrow.

Just his wife’s birth in Norfolk

The marriage announcement states he is ‘of Gateshead’.
There is this one

1871 5053/10/13

Samuel Lee, 39 yrs Draper b Marylebone
With father Samuel and a sister

The marriage certificate/children’s birth certificates would show his occupation.

Elizabeth’s occupation could fit with these details.

You beat me to it, Comberton, but all is looking favourable.

[O.R.A.W.M.U]

Thank you all for this, really helpful as always, going to check all your suggestions now. It all certainly looks the part!

And await the marriage cert arriving.

Has anyone found a death of a Samuel Lee between the date of his marriage and the 1881 census which would fit the Samuel born in 1841?

There is however a burial
Samuel Lee age 24 of Summerset Street buried 04 Feb 1875 South Shields. Putting year of birth at 1851

The last three children all have what looks like a surname as a middle name and all different. The one born in 1883 could not be Samuel's as Elizabeth was a widow in 1881

Could these be the same person?


“Emily’s” death is 1885 at 108 Bath Lane. Aged 2.

Bath lane is where the family are.
