I have been looking at your website for Cawston and found it very interesting
and helpful in
my research into my grandfathers family history.
I know that my grandfathers family still reside in Cawston and I thought that
this may be
of interest.
My grandfather was Walter Henry Lee and he was born, baptised and married in Cawston
he come to Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire in 1906 to work in the dockyards I have
traced my grandfathers family back to William Lee who married Sarah Weston in
St
Agnes Church 28th November 1771, here is a summary of the details I have found
and
