  Notes	1911 census of Ireland (at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000059101/) In Valentia Parade, Inns Quay ward, North Dublin, Ireland: Robert LEE (head, Presbyterian, can read and write, 32, town postman, married, born County Down), Catherine LEE (wife, Presbyterian, can read and write, 29, married, married 1 year, 1 child, living, born Dublin City) and Robert Joseph LEE (son, Presbyterian, cannot read, 8 months, born Dublin City). October 2014: Melody Lee contacted me by email, having found Catherine Groombridge on Minter Exchange. Melody writes: "I'm researching the Groombridge family. I believe that Catherine Groombridge on your site is my husband's grandmother. Yesterday I found the 1901 Irish census with her family. We know she married Robert Lee and I found a marriage cert for that in 1909 We found the 1911 Irish census with her, her husband and one child Robert Joseph who was born Sept. 1910. Robert Lee is listed as a postman. I think Robert Joseph Lee died in 1912 or at least I found a Robert J Lee death in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. The only document I have at this moment is Herbert William Lee's birth certificate. In 1912 they are in Birmingham where another son Herbert William Lee is born. The birth certificate names his mother as Kathleen Groombridge of Ireland. Robert Lee is again listed as a Postman. Kathleen Lee died 1917 in Dublin. According to my father in law Herbert she died on cancer. He himself was terrified of such a death. In 1926 at age 14 Herbert Willilam Lee was sent to Canada as a Salvation Army Boy under the Salvation Army Scheme. We know he worked in Quebec and Ontario. Robert Lee was still living at this time. I know where he lived in 1926 but not where he died. Would you have any information on Catherine/Kathleen Groombridge or the family that you could share. Of course I can add the rest of the family."
