am trying to find out any information on my great grandfather, he married a Dorothy Pritchard/Prichard and lived in Middlesbrough but he may have been born in Lancashire, my mother doesnt know and he died when my grandmother was very young.
Anyone got a Turner Ainsworth in their tree?

Thankyou very much, are you linked to this person as well?
