James LEE - Grocer - The Rocks
« on: Saturday 25 February 12 07:59 GMT (UK) »
I am searching for any descendants of James Lee arrived Australia 1857 from Canton he had 10 children:
James, Willie,Minnie,George,Esther,Peter,Sydney,John, Frederick and Barbara.
His wife was either Kate,Kate Florence or Lizzie and the said marriage was in Wagga in 1880.
James died aged 58 in 1897 in The Rocks. I would be looking for anyone knowing if his young wife re married and if there are any known descendants out there!

No Kate's or Katherine's. This is the closest match: 1076/1884    LEE    JAMES D    SMITHERS    ELIZA    SYDNEY

They didn't have the children you have listed in NSW. Could you provide a little information, please?

Yes the first three born in Tumut, then 1 in Cowra, then 2 in Bathurst, then 4 in Sydney. variations of as James, Jimmy, Kate, Catherine. thanks for your interest. it is the marriage that does escape me, Wagga mentioned on birth certificate and his death certificate.

Have you considered putting all your research names landscape, rather than portrait?

Your James or Lee may be a bit hard to track >:(

I dont know if his English was all that good and I dont know if those at registries were all that good at taking down the correct information but the closest I can get to his correct name is....

Ref# 6973/1882  (Surname) LEEFEE LEE ON KWONG 
A Son ELIJAH His Father LEE His Mother LIZZIE 
and he was born at NEWTOWN in 1882

From what is above I feel his first name was actually Kwong.  ???
