Does anyone have information on a William Webb Turner. Later a Captain then a Major William Webb Turner.
I am researching his years in Seaford Sussex, where he was very influencial.
He was in Seaford during the mid 1800's

Hope someone can help.

Thanks all,

Yes. I am sure this is the William Webb Turner I'm looking for.
Does anyone have a picture of him?
Or any information on his life and achievments?
I have snippets of information if anyone is interested.

Thanks again for all your help.
