Thread: Moving backwards

Hi, my GGrandfather was George James LEE b. in Bethnal Green and married to a Phillis Blake CHAMPION living in and around the Lambeth/Brixton area of London and I am led to believe that his father was a Samuel LEE b. abt. 1805 although I have no proof. Any help would be grateful as I seemed to come to a halt..... Kindest regards, Steve

For reference purposes. 1881

Steve, there's this marriage on the IGI, of course without checking the Parish Register you can't be certain it's your ancestors' but is a starting point.



Samuel Lea? (probably how the scribe thought the name was spelt)
