Ok i am back with some info.
I have asked for further info from the living relative but i am still under the impression that Ellen E.Cockeril married Mr Lee - dont know when.

So i have puchased the 1911 transcript, for both Slater Lee & John William Clunas.
So it shows John William Clunas has a wife aged 26 ( b c1885 ) born in Thornton Le Dale they have 4 children none of which are called Frederick or Albert. Thornton Le Dale is 53 miles from Richmond North Yorkshire where my Ellen E Cockerill was born in 1889 - So this is not my Ellen.

The 1911 Slater Lee census shows he has a wife Edith Lee ( Davidson from marriage register ) aged 28 so born c 1883 in Halifax they have 3 children none of which are Frederick & Albert - So this is not my Ellen either. So again i am snookered, so which Lee did my Ellen Elizabeth Marry or did she just take the name Lee eg never married the father properly????
I have search FreeBMD & Family Search and cant find another marriage.
The 1911 census from Ellen Elizabeth Cockerill shows her in Service in Shipley as Cockerill & Single so I am again Stuck> I know she had Albert E Lee In Richmond North Yorkshire 1915 maiden name on his birth register is cockerill.

I would definately send for Albert lee's birth certificate,that seems the only way to find out about his mum and possibly who his dad were.

Just a thought that there is quite a gap between Fred and Alfred - do you know of any children between 1907 - 1914?

The only other child i have been told about is Frederick born in Ellens first marriage to Mr Lee this is thought to be c 1906 i have this a possibly in Bradford Yorkshire but again unsure. but its only 4miles from Shipley Yorkshire which isnt impossible.
Why would she put her name down as Cockerill & Single on 1911 census, then have Albert E Lee in 1915?? Every step forward i take on this side of my tree is realy a step sideways & backwards.

I will send for the cert on this one because i have exhausted all other options.
