Thankyou for trying MG

Thankyou so much BC Wench, that surely must be them, don't you think? William (my grandfather) isn't at home cos he married in 1907 ...

OH!..... I don't suppose you could find him and wife Clara in 1911 could you? Pleeeese

Just out of curiosity -- why didn't they know whether they were Wilson or Lee?

Thanks again MG...your guess is as good as mine

Just gone through some of the archived posts regarding this, trying to find out but still none the wiser! You put a lot into this at the time, remember?

Maybe Williams father Thomas William Wilson was born to Martha Wilson out of wedlock in 1866, she married Alfred Thomas Lee in 1867

Marriages Jun 1867
CHAMBERS Henry Birmingham 6d 206
COATES Jane Birmingham 6d 206
LEE Alfred Thomas Birmingham 6d 206
Willson Martha Birmingham 6d 206

Here's Thomas William with surname as Lee...

1871: 17 Darby Street, Deritend, Aston
Alfred Thomas Lee 26 Head Metal Annealer? Mountswell, Leicester
Mertha Lee 22 Wife Birmingham
Thomas William Lee 4 Son Aston Birmingham
Agnes Lee 1 Dau Aston Birmingham

Here's the same Thomas William, still with surname Lee Living with his step grandmother (Alfred Thomas's mother)

1881 4 H Bk 109 Great Barr St Aston, Warwick
Ann LEE Head W Female 71? Waltham On The Wolds, Leicester, England
William LEE Son U Male 43 Mount Sorrall, Leicester, England Wire Cleaner
Joseph LEE Son U Male 31 Birmm, Warwick, England Tube Maker
Lillian LEE Grand Daur U Female 18 Birmm, Warwick, England Tube Charger
Thomas LEE Grand Son Male 14 Birmm, Warwick, England Tube Worker

Thomas married Lucy Lane in 1887 but now uses the surname of his mother Martha (Wilson) - his occupation is Tube borer

Their son William Wilson is born in 1888

Here he is with his grandparents (where are his parents?)

William Wilson married Clara Fradley in 1907 at St Laurence Church, Aston, Birmingham (I have the Cert)

1911 : 5 Back 39 Pope St B'ham

LEE, Clara Daughter F 3 1908 Birmingham
LEE, Thomas Son M 0 (4 MONTHS) 1911 Birmingham
FRADLEY, Gertrude Boarder Single F 13 1898 Polisher Birmingham (Clara's sister?)

I wonder if this is Williams father...

I am convinced now, that I should send for one of these cos on 1911 Census they are down as 'Lee'
