Thanks ever so much Margaret. I really apreciate your help. What do you think the chances are, (if i have the right person that is) that hannah hollins had more children, because if i have found two of them one being born in 1920 then another in 1929, i would have thought there might be more, with it being such a huge gap.
have you got any tips on what i can try next?

thanks again michelle

There could be more bro's and sisters but mothers name not given till 3rd qt of 1911.
Later deaths still being transcribed on freebmds.

Full indexes not county indexed. Without a name or year you have to check each year and each qt.


As for deaths the family could have moved from the area . Found James Turner death that could be your man.

James Turner born 28/4/1920 died mar 2005 Colchester Essex . gro ref A94C 175.

Thanks for that, that may come in handy for my search. I don't suppose you'd know if there are any more brothers or sisters and whether they might still be alive?

I am trying to find anyone who may be related to Joseph Turner born 12 november 1929, in Burnley. His mother and father were Charles and Hannah Turner, Hannah's maiden name was Hollins.

Joseph Turner died in 1963, aged 33, by carbon monoxide poisoning with his partner Mary Carmody in a flat in Blackpool. Mary was just 27.

Mary is my dads mother. my dad was adopted and has since found that he has 2 sisters, both of whom are Mary's children.

If anyone knows of anything, no matter how small, or if you know of any relatives please get in touch as we are still trying to conect the missing pieces and find out if joseph is either my dads father or his sisters.

thanks michelle
