Lee, English Church minister, Grimsby. Rev. C. Russell Lee was rector of St. Andrew's Anglican church in Grimsby from 1892 to 1905. Rev. C. Russell Lee, the rector at St. Andrew's, married the couple by license as opposed to the publication of banns, so this does not appear to have been a church ceremony. The names Beck or D'Autrijne or anything similar do not appear in the available transcription of St. Andrew's cemetery burials so there was not likely a family connection to the Grimsby congregation. Grimsby, in this era, was a great holiday resort. |
