Hey to all of those who helped me by researching my mothers side.. she now has contact with a brother and a sister that she knew nothing about a few weeks ago. We know what happened to her birth mother after 60 years of a missing jigsaw... My mum will now celebrate her 60th birthday in January a complete person and I have you guys to thank for it. :-D

Will you let us know the outcome, Michelle? I got very interested in this one as I was working on it, partly because my maiden name was Turnbull although not related to Violet.

Just click on "Search Trees" up above, type in Violet Turnbull. Scroll down to find the one born 1920, Gourock, click on "Find More" and you can send a message to Gordon.

I really hope this is the case and my Mum will indeed have a happy 60th birthday. What is Gordon's surname so that I can look him up? Thanks again to all of you - you have been a wonderful help :-D

"""There are children born in Dartford Kent BUT there must be another Thomas/Turnbull marriage cos the births are ranged between 1947 to 1959 but cos of the names ( a single first, then 3, then just 2 ) it is possible the 2 names ones from 1957 may be a possible.""""


Rose
If you check Gordon, he has BOTH children Wendy & William
( there is a William XXXXXXX odds are, this is William Thomas cos sadly remember they lost their mum in 1961 )

BUT can not see the connection with Gordon Born 1949, unless it is through who brought William & Wendy "up".


Still,
we can waiting until Michelle's cousin Sheryl answers her letter.

So happily Michelle can say to her Mum she has found a Half-brother & sister !!!
Not a bad 60th birthday present !

Do contact Gordon.

I really think Violet had a son with William E Thomas in 195. Gordon also has this name in his tree.

John Archibald looks to be on the electoral register in 1952 so he made it back to the UK.

This death fits:

Deaths Mar 1953
TURNBULL John A 60 Lambeth 5c 1693

Yes, that's right, Michelle, and very curious. Why was she baptised in Montreal and why 5 years after her birth? And why did mother & children return to England? Had father died in Montreal? I can't find his death. Now Gordon has her birth in Gourock, Scotland and I wonder if he knows more?

Michelle Report 10 Oct 2011 12:57

Wow I am just looking at all the threads.... you have been doing lots of research for me.. Im sorry I havent sounded so appreciative.. So Violet was born in Scotland then moved to Canada and then came back again is that right??

MargaretM

MargaretM Report 10 Oct 2011 12:56

How about contacting Gordon on this site who has Violet in his tree?
