Fighting Zacky lee

[HawkesFH]

Having researched the Lee side of the family for 20 years i am still not at the point where i can confirm that Dinah / Dianna Lee, daughter od Zachariah Lee, was the granddaughter of a Boswell.  Diana married Robert George hatton at hammersmith July 19th 1866, she was just about 16 when they married.
Dianna was born in hayes, Middlesex and her parents, Zachariah and Charlotte.had other children :
Britannia, Rosetta, Ambrose and Robert.
I have accumulated quite alot of details, but i am still not sure of a Boswell connection.
Anyone else found this family connects with the Boswells?

I dont really know of a Boswell connection with this family. I do know there was 2 Zacky Lees knocking about at the same time and both married to a Charlotte. Fighting Zacky is your one whos on the 1861 census - Brittania married a Gregory.  The other married Charlotte Hammond who had previously been married to Riley Boss. That Zacky was transported.

Thanks for that.
I first read of a possible connection about 15 - 16 years ago in an article in Family Tree Magazine about the funeral of Rani (?) Boswell, Davy and zacky Lee were mentioned in the article, i've mislaid the article but i have always thought a link would appear somewhere!

Hi again
On the death certificate of Zachariah Lee, 1875, he is 72 and the informant in Joseph Boswell of High Street, Slough, Nephew.
On the 1881 census a possible Joseph is living with Wife sarah in St Paul's Middlesex, and when this joseph is found on the 1861 census he is living with his father Levi Boswell, a tinker living in a tent in  middlesex, and in the next tent (household) is zachariah boswell, who aooears to be brother to Josephs father Levi.
I wonder if these two brothers are the children of Urani and Levo Boswell?
If we have connected the right James Boswell to Zachariah's death registration then there is a definate connection, assuming qw have the right zachariah's death of course.

Levi Boswell married Urania Lee.

B.cir 1847 Wanstead Ex d.1924 Farnborough

Urania was b.cir 1851 d/o Abraham Lee and died 1933 Farnborough.

Levis father was Zachariah Boswell c.1827 Pebworth Glos who married Justinia Deighton b.cir 1824 Rainham Ex

Zachariah Boswells brother was Daniel Levi Boswell who married Mary Ann Lee, d/o Charles Lee & Union Chilcott.

Both Zachariah and Daniel Levi Boswell were sons of Clark.

I have found info on the zacky lee who was transported:
Zachariah Lee 
 
 Norfolk Chronicle and Norwich Gazette, August 8th 1835. (extract)
Zachariah Lee, 25, Charles Boss 25, Robert Boss 17 and Major Lee 19 were all indicted of stealing two horses, the property of Thomas Warman of Carbrooke, and a further indictment of stealing two other horses. Found guilty, the prisoners were sentenced to be transported for life.
Zachariah Lee was pardoned/granted Ticket of Leave 1842-5.
He died in 1847 in New South Wales.

I have also found that adraham lee was the father of the original fighting zacky lee who had the children Job and Urani, pretty certain we have the right zachariah dying in 1875 now, and that his nephew was the joseph boswell son of Levi and mary ann nee lee, now we need to fit the Buckley and coleman clans in!

Eeeks you ask a lot hahahaha Ill see what I can find out.

[An65]

Ok - Job Lee married Morselina Buckley d/o Frank.

Abraham Lee his father married a Mary Smith, known as Pol.

Cant find anything on the Colemans....

[les_looking]

as above Dinah Lee is my great grandmother, daughter of Zacharia Lee, (not sure of charlotte Dinah's mother maiden name)
Dinah in the 1861 census is living with her auntie and uncle (colemans?)
by the next census she is married to Robert George Hatton, and the 1841 or 1851 census cant find any of the Lee 's, the 1871 cenus there is another Zacharia lee in the workhouse, but pretty sure that one married a Rosetta and then was living in the "tents" in the 1881 census, and died aged 89 in 1892,
so there are actually 3 Zacharia Lees, with the one who was transported,
Dinah Lee (hatton) died in 1912 2 (ish) years after her husband, they are all connected somehow, just havn't got the glue for the jigsaw yet
