hi
it is LEIGHTON ROAD, if it is the one that runs from Kentish Town road up to Brecknock road.
They would have to be living there in 1901 to get on the census

Hi Maureen,
yes it would be that Leighton Road, as i know they came from kentish town they should have been living there then, so i need someone to do an address search please, i know you can do that on 1901censusonline, but i am not a member.

thanks

hi
i had tried the 1901 census but not having a first name makes for a very long search.
i also have the discs for london and had done a quick search but they do not always put the whole street on the one disc

hi,
dont know if this would be any help the son would have been Walter J Turner born 1898 he also had a son Walter when he was grown up so it is possible his dad was callled Walter to.
Frustrating thing is those missing numbers are on www.1901censuonline.co.uk but i have no credit/debit card to view them.
thanks very much
Bev

hi
i went on 1901 census typed in Walter J Turner born 1898, Leighton rd is in the parish of St. Pancras,
I looked at all the St Pancras residence. There were lots of Turner families living in the nearby streets but no Leighton rd came up.
Leighton rd is on discs
RG13/142
RG13/151
RG13/157
I will keep looking and will let you know if i find them

Do you have any certs showing that address ?

Any documents at all to prove they were at that address in 1901?

Do you have the marriage cert to show the name and occupation of the father?

Not found a possible birth in 1898 that would be in that area

Hi Maureen,
Thanks very much maybe he moved to Leighton Road as a baby, but was told that was where he was born but maybe they are wrong, i do know he was married and raised all his children in Kentish Town, St Pancras, and his son married my mum who lived in Leighton Grove!
if you find anything please dont think i am ignoring you as taking my little girl away 2 moro for her birthday.
thankyou
