Hi the bell is the give away  mirf

Indeed!  The 1881 census is interesting as it has a nephew also called Shiel Bell living with them - a year younger, so age 12.  His birth is on freebmd too.  Presumably Elizabeth's sibling's child?

The bell name comes in when George Lee marries Elizabeth Bell in1852. The shiel name comes from the Shields. Elizabeth Bells father was Shield Bell, his parents being John Bell and Hannah Shield. The Shield and Bell names only link to George Lee when he marries Elizabeth Bell.

Now you have all the census records for George and Elizabeth and their numerous progeny it should be easier.  The 1852 marriage that mirf gives you sounds very likely.

I already have the information about George Lee after he marries Elizabeth Bell in 1852. I also have his children. I don't have him in the 1841/51 census. I know from his marriage that his father was William Lee. I don't have a definate place of birth as in each census he is recorded as born in a different place. The places being Balfore??? Yorkshire. Dewsbury Yorkshire and Huddersfield. His birth dates also vary from 1830 to 1834. Have any of you heard of a place in Yorkshire called Balfore? I've googled it with no result. I would hope that if I can find a record for him in 1841  his parents will be on there with him as he would at that time be about 8 yrs old.
