Lee is a very common gypsy surname.
I have links to Metcalfe on my family tree via my maternal Aunts. (Yorksire/Northumberland)

A quick look on Google for George Street lists a Temperance Hotel called The Market Tavern which was closed down by Leeds council in Janurary 1995

That would make sense as some of the cenus listings state family members as living at 8&9 George Street, Leeds.

Do you know if the person your looking for was related to Maria Ibbotson, born 1839c in Holme,Lancashire? The reason I ask is Maria Ibbotson is my 2x Great Grandmother via marraige to James Edward Flesher.

From doing research into my family tree Mr Joseph Watson & Mrs Mary Watson (nee Hirst) were the House Keepers of Temperance Hotel in Leeds in 1911 according to the 1911 cenus, there was also a 19 year old female servant (Isabel) whose surname looks to read as Carol, working there as a general servant.
I don't know if its the same place or not as I do not know how many Temperance hotels were around at the time my 2x great grandparents were there. Hope this helps somewhat.

Just found one of hubbie's ancestors as manager & proprietor of a Temperance Hotel in Leeds in 1911. (Frederick Charles Haswell, along with his wife and kids who are working as waitresses)

I'm really wondering if anyone can name or has any info on the said Hotel? The address they are at is 3 George & Dragon Yard, which I can't find on a map but believe may have become Burton Arcade. They are next door to the White Bear Inn which is at no 2.

Any pointers gratefully received!
