When Ellen Yates was born on 22 September 1812 in Croft, Lancashire, her father, Samuel, was 29, and her mother, Ellen, was 34.
In 1841 she is living with her parents, Ellen and Samuel in Lady Lane. Her brother Joseph and sister Mary are also there.
In 1851 they are still on Lady Lane, but her mother had passed away in 1850 and her sister has moved out.
Ellen married Samuel Lee on 27 Apr 1857 at Newchurch in Culcheth when she was 46. Samuel was 47 and widowed.
Ellen became stepmother to Samuel's children, Hannah. Esther, Elizabeth and Margaret.

In 1859, Esther Lee gave birth to a child, named Esther Emma Lee. No Father is named on the birth certificate and Esther is shown as deceased - presumably she died in childbirth. The birth was registerd by Samuel Lee.
1861, Ellen and Samuel Lee are living at Lately Common in Bedford, Leigh. Samuel is an agricultural labourer and Ellen is listed as housekeeper. Granddaughter Esther Emma is with them.
Elizabeth died in 1862 and Margaret in 1870. Ellen then lost her husband Samuel on 23rd October 1870.
Samuel and his two daughters were buried at Croft Unitarian Chapel in Grave C3. I cannot currently locate a death/burial for Esther.
