Mary Anne Elizabeth Cook born 1877 Great Yarmouth.
Mother Martha Cook.

I know Mary married William Lee (born 1877 Woolwich) in 1899 Norfolk.

They had a Daughter Annie Elizabeth Lee born 1900.

I have found the family in 1901 living in Gorleston, Great Yarmouth , she is down as Emma, I know its definitely her as her brother Henry is with her.

I can't seem to find anything after that.

Thanks everyone. Think I'll have to dig into William Lee's family a bit more. I do know his father was called Henry according to Marriage Banns.
Don't where the name Emma has come in, but her birth certificate says Mary Ann Elizabeth Cook.
She was christened Marianne Elizabeth Cook 23th May 1877.

says died 1901

maybe not if father is henry on marriage banns

Yes thats Mary, Maylon. The burial for Mary did it give an age. The death records aren't showing anything that would fit.

Thanks Maddie, think you might be on the right track with this.

Mary's father was wrong on marriage banns, so could be a possibility William's was as well.

Found another daughter for William and Mary. Eleanor Maud Lee 1901, looks like she died in 1902.

In the 1901 census, William is a gunner in Royal Garrison Artillery.


William Henry's service record:

William Henry Lee Self (Head)
George Lee Father

Already serving with Royal (something unreadable) Regiment.

Among other places, he served in south Africa 16/03/1900 to 30/12/1901.

Died on 31/12/1901 of enteric fever at Norvalspont (?).

Can't be Emma's husband, unless she had given his name to the enumerator in 1901 and hadn't said he was actually in South Africa at the time.

This looks like the death for the burial posted.

1911 says William and Emma had had 3 children, of whom one had died.

Although the transcription says William was a yard man, the image says he was a gardener at the Duke of York R[oyal] M[ilitary] School.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_of_York%27s_Royal_Military_School

This Ada is throwing me off with conflicting birth dates.
Am I missing something?

Ancestry suggests this is William's birth - but that's just because 1911 gives his YOB as 1881, so isn't necessarily correct:

LEE, WILLIAM mms LOTT
GRO Reference: 1881 D Quarter in SHEPPEY Volume 02A Page 879


EDIT:

And it's not the correct birth.

That child's father is William:

Marriages Jun 1879 (>99%)
LEE William Sheppey 2a 1259
LOTT Elizabeth Sheppey 2a 1259

I don't think William Henry with father George is the right man, Megs - in which case Ada is irrelevant.

William Henry died in South Africa1901, if the army record is the right one.
