Please could anybody shed some light on my great great grandfather George Turner. He was born in 1887 and married Lily May Smith in 1915 or thereabouts I think. I need to find out who his parent s were. I have plenty of information regarding Lily May's side of the family however I need to progress on George's side. I've ordered his birth cert but I have limited information to go on for now.

Can anybody help me??? He was born in either Stoke-on-Trent or Cheshire.

Thank you

I'm confused.......how can you have ordered his birth cert, when you don't know for sure where he was born?

Yeah that's the marriage. I need some more info on his parents. Just wanted to try and progress a little further. I'm impatient that's all! lol

With such a common name and no middle initial to help, you'd be foolish to do anything, it would be purely guesswork.

In this instance a cert is most def the only way forward!!

This MAY be the family in 1911.............to find his birthplace would require buying units

TURNER ELIZA E Age 6 Wolstanton Staffordshire
TURNER GEORGE ALBERT Age 31 Wolstanton Staffordshire
TURNER LILY MAY Age 24 Wolstanton Staffordshire

Oh my goodness....that's brilliant. I know that is my grandfather's family. My grandfather isn't on the list because he wasn't born by then but that is my grandfather's siblings. Where would I need to buy credits from?? Where did you find this info???

Thanks
