[2] He was the fifth son of Henry Lee, a builder from Balham, and among his siblings was a half-brother, John, 15 years older than Frederick, who played cricket for Cambridge University, Surrey and a lot of other amateur sides in the 1840s.
[3] He played again for Cambridge in 1861 and 1862 but not successfully enough to retain his place in the side for the University Match in either season.
He was a fairly consistent scorer, but his highest was only 35, which he reached twice in his career; his bowling was occasional and he never took more than two wickets in an innings.

"[4] Outside cricket, Lee qualified as a lawyer and was called to the bar in 1865, practising on the South Eastern Circuit.
