I know the names of the siblings through an elderly Aunt, Thomas was a Commercial Traveller on his marriage certificate, gives Joseph as an Engineer, he is listed as being a paper manufacturer in New Mills Derbyshire, High Street up to about 1925. On the marriage certificate it gives residence as Strensall York, but I think this may have been a barracks. Thomas was committed to Mickleover Lunatic Asylum in approx 1935 where he died probably late 1950s early 1960s. I need to find Thomas's birth certificate and though that by researching Joseph I might be able to find more about the family. There was talk of their being a paper mill in the family but this may just be legend. Haven't been able to find Joseph anywhere. This side of the family wasn't spoken about by the family generally so they are a bit of a mystery especially with the surname Turner.

Is this the family in the 1911 census:-

TURNER, Joseph Head Married M 48 1863 Stationary Engineman Anscroft Shropshire
TURNER, Maria Wife Married 21 years F 48 1863 Chesterfield Derbyshire
TURNER, Thomas Son Single M 19 1892 Invoice Clerk Whaley Bridge Cheshire
TURNER, William Son Single M 17 1894 Grocer's Assistant Whaley Bridge Cheshire
TURNER, Percy Son M 14 1897 Cabinet Maker's Apprentice Whaley Bridge Cheshire
TURNER, Harry Son M 11 1900 School Whaley Bridge Cheshire
TURNER, Muriel Daughter F 7 1904 School Whaley Bridge Cheshire

Where is New Mills ?

Can anybody help me trace Joseph Turner, listed on his son Thomas's marriage cert as an Engineer, he had sons Thomas, William, Harry, Percy and Muriel. His son Thomas was married in New Mills at St George's Church New Mills to Caroline Wood in 1917. If possible I would like to know the name of his wife and his date of birth, and possibly any information on the family in general. He may have had connections in Yorkshire, or possibly Dove Holes in Derbyshire.
