Does anyone know of the Lee family who originated from Hull-
My grandfather John Lee born 1910 fisherman lost at sea 1936.
His father Edward/Edwin Lee born about 1859/60 boiler makers labourer on the trawlers
his father Matthew Lee born about 1811 possibly in Mirfield but not sure.
one of Edwards children-Emma married into the Foster family who also lived in Hull ,she married Christopher B Foster in 1921-are there any relatives of the Foster family still living in Hull now who knew her?

Have you looked at a site "The lost trawlermen of Hull" You'll probably find your grandfather listed there. My maternal grandmother was a Lee but she came from Ramsgate to Hull with several other fishing families. We also had family members lost at sea.
Good hunting Nora
