The Henry Havelock LEE, born 27/4/1911, was a direct descendant  of Henry Lee/Ann Thompson but do not believe he was your tobacconist of builth wells.

Henry Havelock Lee got married in 1934 in Machen near Caerphilly and at the time was an office clerk

Thank you Archielee - the combination of names had me wondering.

Is this Henry Havelock LEE the son of the above-mentioned Archibald Henry LEE?

Gazette Issue 33733 published on the 7 July 1931. Page 25 of 108

"5th Bn. Welch R.-The undermentioned to be 2nd Lts. 8th July 1831:-

How did Anne Mary LEE (daughter of Henry and Annie) meet her future husband William Henry DICKINSON? Could it have been because her maternal grandfather (EDT) and his paternal grandfather were business partners since long before she was born? That connection existed since 1830's.

I had had a certain sympathy for Henry Lee (husband of Ann Thompson) over the very public 'pasting' he took from the Board of Trade and the newspapers over the loss of one of his later ships. Now as details of his own sea-going career come out, that lessens. He should have known better.

Another niggley item to clear up:

...Enoch Donkerley Thompson and Mary Ann Logan had five children: ....

JULIAN

These are only the five children who survived into adulthood. There were more.

When widowed Clara (Lee) Kendall travelled to America to visit her sister Caroline (Lee) Kidd in 1913, was Caroline then living in Boston?

I can't speak to 1913 but 20 Jan 1915 John died and was buried Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts; Burial: Mount Hope Cemetery grave number 5342 Section F , Caroline passed 16 Jan 1920 and is buried next to him. Their son, artist, Reginald Sherman Kidd was in Boston at the time but records are few. R. Sherman and wife Flora, are last seen going for a trip to Scotland, France and Spain in 1924, back in Lake Worth, Palm Beach County, Florida by 1925 and then drop off the face of the earth again. I finally found son Ernest Evan Seton Kidd died Wheat Ridge, Colorado buried Mount Olivet next to his wife Anna nee Fisher. I put John and Caroline and Ernest and Anna on findagrave I also added E. D. and Mary Ann as well as Henry and Annie. Harry remains a complete mystery.

I have been and am puny, so is mother and also my eldest son. But I have missed Westoe. I wish I was a better writer then maybe I wouldn't be so shy. Cheers, Cherie Lynn

Hello Cherie Lynn,

Yes, I've seen all your virtual gravestones. (Smile) One can hardly turn around on the internet without bumping into you. (Smile)

That record of Clara Kendall is on familysearch "New York Passenger Arrival Lists (Ellis Island), 1892-1924."

She arrived 26 April, 1913 (almost exactly 98 years ago) on the CELTIC.
