Hi Angela,
Look forward to hear from You
Cathy

Hi Angela,
I believe we could be related !
I hope we are ! I would love any information on my dads side of the family, as I just come to learn he had a sister Joan through doing a family tree.
My father’s is John Turner born Chester 1918 , he also lost he’s arm as a young boy. He die in a car accident 1971.
He does have A lot of children but none with the name Chester .
My name is Catherine Cestria Turner , I live in Sydney Australia born 1962.
I’m happy to give you any information which may help fill in the pieces.
Regards Cathy :-)

Ok Angela - seems likely just the 'place' name was on the photo.

The 'NSW Library' (Ask a Librarian' service) can trace those family names found (thanks to RYERSON's volunteer!)) - from latest/current electoral rolls. (Mission now accomplished!!?)

Valerie i might be wrong with the name Chester was just going off what was wrote on the the back of photos.

Angie

Hi - I have just received copy of his newspaper death notice - showing lots of family names. He died in an accident. I will send a PM with my email address to exchange contact -I can 'forward' the newspaper details directly to you.
(info KINDLY sent from a volunteer on RYERSON's INDEX)

(I shall disregard 'NSW Library' ….fee $16.50!!)

PS
I have just emailed 'NSW State Library's 'Ask a Librarian' service -to check the SMH death notice (2/11/1971)- for family names etc.

Hi
Just found sad news of John Turner's (early) death. NSW BMD shows: ……
Reg.No 70944/1971
John Turner d 31/10/1971 age 53yrs 'late of Sadlier' son of Walter & Annie Turner.

Death notice was in 'Sydney Morning Herald' 2/11/1971.

The 'NSW State Library' (on-line) has an 'Ask a Librarian' service. They will check that newspaper death notice for John Turner (SMH 31/10/1971) - it should show family names etc.

NSW/BMD has a list of 'transcription agents' who will search that Reg.No. and send you details from death cert. (approx. $25). It should show his wife/chn's names etc.
('Joy Murrin' is one of the agents) (Cheaper than buying the cert.)

Hopefully there will be mention of 'Chester' - if so - 'Ask a Librarian' to check their NSW electoral rolls -which are current -up to present day. They should at least find entries for John Turner -up to 1971 and hopefully 'Chester' plus any other names mentioned.
(with compulsory voting here -we ALL have to be on the rolls from 2yrs after arrival)

Hi
Do you know WHERE his son Chester Turner was born 'roughly1965' ? (Aus/NZ?)
He may be easier to follow up.

Valerie

You would need to get his death cert for its info on cause of death

Gro ref already posted

Thanks thats fantastic. Annie and Walter Turner were my grandparents. The address is correct, they did have a large family sadly all now passed away, My mother was Joan Turner she also had a younger sister named Bet and older brothers Charlie, George, and Walter. I know my grandfather died when the youngest Bet was very young i would be interested in his cause of death. This is all new to me so any advise is greatly appreciated. Jack could of married before leaving leaving for Australia.

You may have to follow up on the other siblings to see if their are any living family that may have info on John/Jack turner
