We are sorry to announce the death of Rachel Lees on 12th February 2011. Her letters to us regarding her genealogical research and her family history were always kind and interesting.
In April 2016 we received an e-mail message from David Lloyd, whose wife's grandmother, Elizabeth Williams née Mellor, was Nanny to Charles Cunningham Dumville Lees (1894-1919). Charles became a Royal Naval Officer and died when his destroyer, H.M.S. Verulam, was mined and sunk in the Gulf of Finland. Charles and Elizabeth corresponded until shortly before his death. David Lloyd and his wife have some of this correspondence and a photograph of Charles in his uniform. If any descendant of the Lees family would like this correspondence and the photograph, please contact us and we will forward your request to David.
