thank you soooo much reggie!!! SORRY for the delayed reply internet probs :-(

You're welcome, Helen

Just wish I'd been able to locate the Lee family on census records, but, no such luck!

In 1918, on the ER, John jr was at Edric Road, New Cross, which was his address when he enlisted in the Army in 1915
