My father believes that relatives of his emigrated to Pennsylvania USA, because he remembers comics being sent to him in West Bromwich during the 1930's and 40's. |

The 1930 and 1940 US censuses have quite a few Lees families born England living in Pennsylvania. Do you have any idea where in Pennsylvania or any first names? |

The related people may also be from your paternal grandmother's family- was her maiden name Instone? |
