Hello again.  I agree it is sometime since I researched the Lees and Todds and even revisiting now I have found so many in the area, it is difficult to keep track.   Yes - even after the mill was bankrupt, I found that John Lee born Alwent Mill 1848 was still a corn miller on the 1901 and 1911 census and living at Summerhouse.   He is described as a "worker" so I am not sure if there was a mill at Summerhouse or whether he remained employed at Ingleton Mill after it was sold on.  In 1911 he was living alone at Summerhouse although still married and I traced his wife to the Infirmary part of the Workhouse in Darlington.  The don't appear to have had any children.

Hello Lynne and Geordie Mag.    It is good that this link has been revived again.  Its some years now since I researched the Lee family and we shared information.
My husbands Great Grandfather was Frederick George Lee and his only daughter Annie, my husbands grandmother.  If I remember correctly, in 1911, Frederick was living with his daughter in Ingleton, who by this time had married Robert Hodgson  (who appears to have been working away from home at the time of the census) although I am not sure if it was at the Mill.  Annie had brothers called Alf and Arthur.  I understood that a lot of this line of the Lee family settled in the Trimdon area after 1911 together with Robert & Annie Hodgson (nee Lee) and also Frederick her father.    Sadly we don't have any photos but it is very interesting description of Thomas Lee, thank you.

Well what can I say - they are certainly an interesting family!!!!.  I believe that the eldest son was also the miller at Summerhouse - I wonder if this was part of the Lee "empire" also.  I would like to find out what happened to Thomas's brother Matthew who seems to have disappeared from censuses.

I think we have a lot to discuss.

Regards
Pam

Thanks Geordie Mag for that great information about Thomas Lee and thank you Linda (danuslave) for your support and encouragement.  I would be delighted to receive a PM (presume personal messge) but this is the first time I have used Roots Chat and am hesitant at the moment about how things work.  When you say I need a couple more postings to receive a PM  do you mean postings on other family queries, not necessarily the Lee Family?

I had found some of the information about the Lee Family, and they did seem quite prosperous - it did cross my mind that the business was supporting a lot of family members and maybe they stretched themselves too far.  I agree with you about the advancement of mechanisation in connection with milling and this also could have contributed to the business collapse - very sad - our Frederick George ended up a carrier for the colliery.

thanks again.

Hi Geordie Mag - my husbands Gt Gt Grandfather is also Thomas Lee, the miller at Ingleton via Frederick George and his daughter Annie Lee.  I am also researching the Lee family although I do not have a lot of information - I really just wanted to make the contact.  I hope to visit the local history centre shortly to find out more about the bankruptcy and any other information.
