Find Ancestors

Hi Julie,
You got the correct one on 1901. He's with Joseph and Arthur Turner.
RG 13
Piece 3656
Folio 132
Page 9.
I did find a George Turner and wife Sarah on the 1881, which could be James's parents, but George is not a farmer.
Cheers Margaret.

Will do that Julie, thanks a lot. Get back later if she comes back to me.
Your a gem. Cheers.

Margaret

Can you ask her for the RG number, piece,folio & page numbers for the 1901 census..then we'll beable to pick him up and work backwards

Julie

Im just not seeing anything that i would say yes thats him

Thanks Julie and Alice,
What i'll do is email her again, see if she has any more definite details. What is it about 5 am down under? May get a reply later.
Needle in a haystack comes to mind on this one.
Thought extra eyes and fresh brains would do the trick.
Cheers Margaret.

Margaret

There's loads of births in that qtr for a James Turner born Lancashire

I'd say that is correct Julie for 1901.
She seems sure in her email that parents are Sarah and George. James joined the Kings Royal Rifles and gave next of kin as his mother Sarah Turner?? George she thinks was a farmer.
She's not mentioned Arthur or Joseph, will ask her. James was her grandfather.

The only one i can see on the 1901 is this one

But there is an Arthur & Joseph with him too

I'll just check her email, see if there are any more clues.

My thinking is he has to have been born in Salford, and the birth looks good as she's given me 4/11/1887,

Margaret

I can't see him on the 1901..but im wondering if she is unsure of dads name as theres no name on the certificate

Julie

I don't know how she's arrived at these names, she has obviously done some research, but even i'm struggling with the info she's sent me. I've trawled but coming up blank.
If he's at a poor law school in 1901, then parents are not listed?

Margaret

Is this his birth

Can i ask how you know his mums names..cos normally you'd get fathers name 1st from marriage then both parents from birth

Hi Julie,
Is there a James with anybody? I'm thinking my contact may have some details wrong, as she can't find him either.
Cheers M.

Can't find a James with a Sarah & George

Hi anyone who can help. Searching for James Turner b. 4/11/1887 Lancashire on the 1891 census. Mother Sarah, father possibly George?
On the 1901 he is at Swinton Poor Law School in Salford, Lancs.
In 1906 he is at Gladstone St, Middleton, Lancs.
Trying to find this info for a contact in Australia.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
