Research on our LEE CLAN has so far only been gathered over the past year or so (2003/2004), and will hopefully continue to grow as more facts are sourced.Anyone with links into our LEE Clan are very welcome to email me with relevant information - also happy to share info with other descendants. So far, our LEE'S have been found spread throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario and reaching back into Ireland. As of Sept/04 the oldest ancestors found (just their names on their son's wedding notice) are ROBERT and ELIZABETH LEE of Carleton County, Ontario (possibly Osgoode, Carleton County at one stage, where their son, WILLIAM was born in 1845).Their nationality is shown as "Irish", and Wesleyan Methodist. They had 2 known children: WILLIAM F. (Francis?) LEE and JENNIE LEE (born 1851 probably in Ontario).WILLIAM LEE married Emma TRAVELLER in Nepean, Ontario in Jan.1882 and JENNIE LEE married William CLARKSON, also in Ontario. The married couples all moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba. Our LEE Clan is very much interested in finding out more about ROBERT & ELIZABETH LEE of Nepean, Ontario, and back beyond them. Nov/04 Further updates to come shortly.
