The Lees family:

I initially wondered about a link to the Lees family of Thurland Castle, Lancs. (from which came the Lees Milne family of Wickhamford Manor and Crompton Hall), but there doesn't appear to be one; rather, the Lees family of Oldham were prosperous cotton manufacturers.

Geoffrey W. M. Lees's wife, Ellen, was dau. of Frank Penn (1851-1916), of Bifrons, Patrixbourne, Canterbury, Kent, a cricketer for Kent; G. W. M. Lees's sister, Audrey (1897-) m. Frank Penn's son, also Frank (1885-).  G. W. M. Lees's elder daughter, Lavinia Charlotte (1927-) m. John Ronald Raoul Millais, s. of artist Hesketh Raoul Lejarderay Millais (1901-1999), who was son of artist John Guille Millais (1865-1931), of Compton's Brow, Horsham, Sussex, and grandson of Sir John Everett Millais, 1st Bt, the famous Pre-Raphaelite artist.

G. W. M. Lees was s. of Joseph Dickinson Lees (1861-1940), of Whittlebury Lodge, Towcester, Northants., J.P., High Sheriff of Northants. 1918, of the family cotton manufacturing business (later 'of private means') by his wife (m. 1890) Edith, dau. of Edward Harrison Martin (1828-1889), of Bar Hill House, Madeley, Staffs., land agent.

Joseph Dickinson Lees's father was William (1823-1913), of Park Villa, Edward Street, Oldham, Lancs., master cotton spinner employing c. 400 workers; he m. 1860, Martha (1824-), dau. of Robert Dickinson.
