‡ General

Father's birth year is a mere estimate, because William has not been found in any census record; mother's is approximation from census. Edith was born in Leicestershire in late 1862 (regd Q4).
Daughter Doris told her daughter that they were closely related to cricketer Walter Scott Lees (1875-1924), with tangible evidence in the form of a silver cup he apparently won for performance in New Zealand and passed to Doris, but records have yet to confirm the relationship.
1911 census of England and Wales on Findmypast.co.uk): 114 Netherwood Road, West Kensington W; South Hammersmith (28, piece 254), London, with mother Elizabeth living with him and his wife and daughter:

Telegraphist born Leicester with mother Edith Mary: spot on. Spoils the link to the cricketer though; but that didn't quite match up anyway.

At the 1901 census, Elizabeth was not with them but was a household head in District 21, South Leicester, "Leicester formerly St Mary", household 174, piece 3004, folio 95, p 25; age 72, born Wolverhampton. In her household were:

- George A Holdom, boarder, 32, born Castle Croft, Staffs
- John L Barber, boarder, 20, born Leics
- Charles H Barber, guest, 24, born Leics

Ω Birth

Date in school admission register. Place from census.

Age 15 at the census in early 1881; age 27 at marriage in Nov 1891; age 45 at the 2 April 1911 census. So did he lie about age when getting married? Some uncertainty about his birth - search http://search.findmypast.co.uk/results/united-kingdom-records-in-birth-marriage-death-and-parish-records?firstname=john%20hall&lastname=lees&yearofbirth=1864&yearofbirth_offset=1&_page=2
