Hi Sylvia
Thanks for your time & effort. I had located "most" of thisb but as you say it is circumstantial evidence.
I already have 1c - 94 and that is not him.
I don't think I have found the other 2, so will investigate and let you know. Our family data is on our web site that I produce at www.familytreeweb.co.uk.
Best regards

These censuses both ahve Joseph Lee with parents Joseph and Sarah

Now you need his birth certificate for the proof.

To get the definitive proof you HAVE to buy his birth certificate. You will not be able to prove it without the certificate.
