Sarah Ann Lee
« on: Sunday 01 March 15 13:00 GMT (UK) »
I've hit a brick wall! Can someone help with tracing Sarah Ann Lee b. 14th February 1876 at 2 Silk Mill Row, South Hackney to Emma Lee formerly McDouall( along with variant spelling of her surname) & Thomas Lee. Was she placed in the care of London County Council, did she die, was she adopted, did she emigrate to USA, or Canada, QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS that I cannot find answers to.The last known confirmed information is the 1881 census, and her baptism record. She was baptised on 1 July 1881 at All Saints Clapton Park Hackney.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi Margp,

I have that census record, is it right? What happened to this family remains a mystery. Something has happened between 1881 and 1885.In 1894 Thomas and Emma are living at 14 Bushberry Road, Hackney.So, the 1891 census with the added children could be right. The 1901 gives me more brick walls. Did Thomas Lee die in 1896. I have a death certificate for Thomas Lee died 28th February 1896 at 84 Grove Buildings, (occupation mechanical engineer journeyman) Mile End. Informant E Lee. Is that Emma? I shall never know.
Thomas's occupations vary; he was a ropemaker, pointsman, labourer. bricklayer. Ropemaker and pointsman confirmed.
My dilemma  continues.

Hi Margp,

Thanks for that. Bearing in mind that one child  does not appear in that family unit (born 1878 is in the care of London County Council, which makes the birth dates too close for me to take it as the right family.

The 1881 census does not have the children mentioned on the 1891 census. If that particular reference is correct then on the 1881 census Emma b 1877 and John b1880 should appear within the family unit.

They may have been staying with relatives?
