Jane and Ian had noticed the following similarities at this point between Matthew Lee ( son of Catherine Walton and Matthew Lee ) and Joseph Leigh Hunter
- Born within +/- 2 years of 1869
- Born in England
- Father a coal miner
- Father recorded as dead by 1898 or known to have died in 1892
- Mother called Kate or Catherine Walton
The question became, is it possible Matthew Lee and Joseph Leigh Hunter were the same person? At this point, no way of proving it, but what happened during the rest of Matthew Lee’s life? Where and when did Matthew die? Did Matthew ever marry?
