I'm a bit confused. Is it Nathaniel's family or Thomas's family that you are researching please?

Birth of Nathaniel's son Thomas

Births Sep 1891 (>99%)
Turner Thomas Davis Cleobury M. 6a 558

Looks like his wife may have died in childbirth as her death is registered in the same quarter.



As I have said, are you researching Thomas Harold Turner or Thomas Davis Turner please?

That was why I asked the poster what she wanted to know.............

PM from Patricia. It is Thomas HaroldTurner she is trying to trace. So Nathaniel's Turner seems unrelated. Possibly somewhere along the line someone has got the wrong name for his first wife. Patricia has said that it is though that Thomas Harold Turner went to Canada.

Patricia -
do you know Thomas Harold's actual date of birth?

I know his birth was registered in January 1893, but unless you know he was actually born then, he may have been born at the end of 1892, but his birth not registered until January.

I'm wondering about this man:

He was heading for 105 Oldock Road, Kings Norton, Birmingham - only about 13 miles from Bromsgrove.
He was retired, and was intending to stay in the UK for 7 months.
Last address, and future intended address - in NZ.

That's interesting as a tree on Ancestry (we know you can't rely on them!!) has his sister Bertha Fanny dying in New Zealand in 1956 ??

There may be something here to explore further ?
