I need to find the siblings of George Turner. He was born on 5th July 1898 at Massey's Square, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent

His parents were Joseph Turner and Eliza Slack. They were born 2/10/1868 and 24/04/1868 respectively. They got married on 15/08/1887 and died 5/02/1947 and 5/10/1920 respectively.

Thanks

Nicola

Catherine and Christine,

I received my grandparents marriage cert today! It states that my grandfather's (Albert Turner) father was named George Turner and my grandmother's (Ethel Camm) father was named Solomon; which I already knew.

George was a miner and Solomon was a policeman. The witnesses were Arthur Turner who is believed to be my grandfather's brother and a woman named Lilian Ingram, who my mum seems to think is/was married to my grandmother's brother.

Having now got the certificate, I still don't know what my grandad's mother's name is!

How do I go about finding that now?

No problem, love doing census look ups.
Lets hope that it's all the correct ones and the marriage cert will help us move on for the Turner family.

When you get the cert. could you post onto this thread all the info that's on it , ages, names including the names of the witnesses as they are sometimes family members.
Hope it doesn't take too long to arrive!!!!

Well done Christine, I was going to have a look for that today, so you've saved me a job.
Not a lot can be done on the Turner side until you get the cert. which will also confirm, or not, the info on the Camm side.
In the meantime I'll look for the other census records for the Camm family, which you can hold on file until you have confirmation.

Here it is

Q3 1946

Ethel Camm/ Turner
Crewe 10a 569

You can order the cert online at

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

You have to register first.

When ordering tick the box for vol and page no known and use the ref no I have quoted and the district, Crewe.

Only use the above site, they cost £7 from them, some other sites charge a lot more.

Will look in agian tomorrow, off to bed now.

Hi Christine,

My grandparents roughly got married in 1946 as my nana was pregnant at the time with my auntie who is due to turn 62 next year.

It's there abouts anyway!

ChristineinPortugal Report 9 Dec 2008 23:27

Just got back online and see a lot has been found on the Camm family.

If you want to be sure of Alfred's parents you do need the marriage cert.

As I said in an earlier post we need a rough idea of when they married as there is no easy way of searching after about 1925 .

The birth year of your father's eldest sibling would be useful.

Hello,

Made such a remarkable lot of discoveries if it turns out they all are all true, which I feel they are due to how close the dates are and how many similar findings I'm finding!!!

Solomon born in 1912 is my nanas brother and Solomon born in 1887 is her father. Henry and Caroline, who you found earlier are my nana's grandparents and their children are my nana's aunts and uncles I believe.

However, I'm struggling to fit their dates and places of birth together at the moment. This may be due to the fact that I'm tired so may well have to come back to it tomorrow.

Can't believe how much progress I have made though and want to thank you so much for your continued help and interest!

Speak soon, Nicola
