Tweedmouth - George Lee - birth look up
« on: Sunday 03 August 08 22:55 BST (UK) »
Hello, I'm hoping that someone can help me, I've been searching all over the place with no luck!

I need to find proof (or otherwise) that a George Lee born in 1836/1837 in Tweedmouth is the son of George Lee (boatbuilder) and Ann Mitchell (who married on 7/3/1837).

Thanks

Carol

Hi Carol,

I can see 3 George Lees in Tweedmouth 1841 census, only one with those parents:

1841HO107/318/12 Folio 5 Page 5
Shore, Tweedmouth, Berwick Upon Tweed
LEE
George  25 Boat Builder  Durham
Ann        25                     Scotland
George    3                      Durham


The other two are both aged 5, with parents Robert/Mary and Andrew/Agnes

Hi Carol
The George Lee born about 1836 in Tweedmouth and married to Margaret Cullen is my G.G.Grandfather, and I was under the impression his father was George and Ann Mitchell. I now think he was the son of Robert Lee, mariner, and Mary Bryson, from christening records I found at Berwick records office showing the date of 19 July 1835. Iam in the process of rechecking the census details for 1841/51. The 1861/71 are correct and I hope I can tie these years up soon. I hope to do this over the next week and if successful I could let you have the details  ERIC
