I am trying to find any ancesters of William George Turner b. 1864 in Cheshire, his son Harold married Gertrude Butler in 1936 and they had three sons Alan, Eric and Jeffrey. I would very much like to hear from anyone who knows of this family. Kind Regards Cherryl

Cherryl


you are not very likely to get someone wandering by who knows these people.


The people who look on here are people like myself ........... other members of GR who like to try to help people.


May I suggest that you put these names in the Search Trees facility in the dark green band above.


That will tell you if they are in any trees on the site.

If they are, then you can send a pm (personal message) to the tree owner.

This is a William George Turner showing in a tree on www.ancestry.co.uk

The tree is private, and you would need to make contact with the tree owner if this sounds as if it might be yours
