Thanks, Rupert..

It looks as though Mary's father was originally from Barbados but worked for the Trinidad customs...

Any articles would be welcome, especially anything on Mary's family, I still have haven't got her DoB, PoB or mother.

Much appreciated

Louisa was b. c1822 Middlesex, so the family have been in England. If that is the correct Mary Lee b. c1810, mother Ann must have d. between 1810-1822.

We know Mary Lee mar. in London.

HILL-SHEAF 1847 marriage

Rupert

Interesting Louisa was living in Gloucestershire when she married, William [father] described a merchant.

Witness not giving anything away

 

[horse]

Interesting Louisa was living in Gloucestershire when she married, William [father] described a merchant.

Assuming we have the correct William Hill, father of Mary Lee and possibly Louisa, the image suggests he had died before 1836 when Mary Lee married John Beckles. It also says Mary Lee was the 2nd dau. of William [doesn't mention the 1st dau.].
