Further to your "tree":-  William and Eleanor Lee had the following children.
Matthew Lee, John, Lily b.1854, William b.1855, Mary Elizabeth b.1861, Alfred Shepherd b. 1863, Walter b. 1865.
Alfred married Margaret Hannah Ritson b. 1861. They are my Grandparents.

Hi Tiggertwo
I do feel that we are on the same line.  We are agreeing in the main line, and cannot quite get all the info.  According to a letter of Mattew(b.1850 I think), His father William (1819), had eight uncles,  I have only been able to trace six.  But Hessu has found eight. The letter gives the names,"Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, Wuilliam, Joseph, Duke and Tom. but they were not born in rhyme, only it was easier to remember their names this way"  I think there was also three Aunts,Ann, Mary(twin of Joseph), and Sarah.
Does this help just add to the confusion!
Kind regards, Fel.

Hi Tiggertwo,
I have Matthew Lee m. Margaret ?  She was a Scot, and they had a son Edwin.
Don't know second names.
Matthew, John, Walter etc Grandfather was Matthew b. 1785 m. Mercy Smart also b. 1785 in1806. He d.1851 in Volvovo Russia, of course. He was a farmer in Selby. Sometime in the 1840s he was asked by the Tsar (connection not known) to advise on the irrigation of St. Petersburg. Took his son William with him. William m. Eleanor Lee in 1851 in St. P.

Regards, Fel (Rowley)!           

Hi Tigger Two,

Matthew b.1785, William b.1819, Alfred Shepherd b. 1863 and Alfred Algernon b.1900.

Hope this helps and that you are well.

Regards Fel.

Hi Mocca,

I have Matthew's father as William b.1752,m.1776 to Hannah Wright b. 1755, this William's father as William b.1709 d.1793, m. Elizabeth Miller b.1715 d.1790.

I don't think the William b. 1733 fits in the age group, as I think William's b.1709 first child was Robert b.1745

Kind regards,
Fel
