Hello Warren, A Mrs James Lees was nurse/ witness at the births of three Elliott children born in Gerringong and Broughton Creek in 1870, 1871 and 1873. In the 1872 Grevilles P.O. Directory there was a James Lees, labourer living in Omega Retreat Gerringong. Carole.

Hi Warren, This may well have been Mary Ann Lees, married to James Sutton Lees. If this is the same woman, she was born Mary Ann Lees in 1811 to Thomas Lees and Amy (Emma) Staples. Mary died 1899. She married James Sutton Lees in 1828 and had 11 children. For more info. go to Rootsweb Worldconnect Project and type in James Sutton Lees. Hope this helps.
