Hi,

I have some info on Matthew Lee as he has a link into my family tree. I don't know how he died but the parish record entry in NBL Record Office for St Andrews Church Shotley gives the following info: 6 Nov 1853 Matthew Lee, Mosswood, 66 years.

Hope this is of help.

I think I'm going to have to give up on ever finding a actual death certificate for this man,the above is def his burial but over the years I've done searches looking for a matthew  (with no surname in the box )in all districts, searched for Lee and all the spelling variations I can think of still no joy  :'( I sent for one in Dewsbury but that turned out to be a 6 week old baby .I wish I could just let go and not keep searching but it's one of those that bug me ,it's got to be there somewhere

I found on a birth certificate that the father was a DRILLER  now apart from the obvious that he must have drilled holes  but in what? or am I
mistaken . this was in 1918  and he lived in a large city.   I looked up old jobs but this is all I  could find .........Drillman: worked in the agriculture industry, operating a seed drill.
