Finneymore LeeThis is a featured page

For Rachel :

Hello
I have been trying to trace my family tree for a while now and have drawn a blank. My grandfather's name was Finneymore Charles Clement Lee and he was born in 1904 in Horfield in Bristol.
His father before him was named Finneymore lee born in 1870 and died in 1924.
I do know from family that he was Romany and that he was a horse dealer and that he lived at Thornton Heath, Surrey.
I would really appreciate it if anyone has got any information.

My Great Grandfather is James Lee 1890, son of Moses and Sarah. so that makes Finneymore my great great uncle.
I've wanted to find out more about the Lee's and this helps a great deal.
It also explains the occurrence of Councelletta, as James had a sister called Councelletta.
I would really like to know more about my James as he left my grandfather his 2 brothers, sister and mother in approx 1918 after only being married since 06/1909 to Florence Elizabeth Chamberlain.

Do you find this valuable?

Hi sandy.

The information you have found out is brilliant. I passed it on to my family yesterday and they all want to say a big thankyou to you for all the work
you have done for us.
I can't believe you have managed to trace my family back so far!
I need to work out exactly who is who now, as it seems to be a very large family, which is great, but a little confusing at the moment.
thankyou once again and i will be back in touch soon
