Today I am asking for help in finding this Turner Family in possible Worcestershire please.

Arthur Turner was born in 1887 in Bredon, Worcestershire and his wife Georgina b.1897 was born in Strensham, Worcestershire.

Where are they living in 1939? Did they have many children? I have notes to say that Arthur worked and died on the Railways.

Thanks from Nala.

NYX,

Thanks for your kindness and help in find out this info for me.

I always find that I can progress much more with 1939 results.

I need to look up local newspaper reports now from 1946 about his death on the railways now.

Once again thanks from Nala. :-D

Cont......

At about 7a.m, the body of Mr Arthur Turner, aged about 58 of Bredons Hard Wicke, a Platelayer employed by the L.M. and S. Railway company, was found on the six-foot way after, apparently having been struck bt a train.
Mr Turner had been on duty throughout the night guarding a small landslide on the Birmingham side of the Bredon railway bridge and station.

Seen By Driver

He had been relieved at 6 a.m. and would have to walk down the line to collect his bicycle at the station.
The driver of a goods train was the first to see the body lying in the six-foot way, and he reported the matter to the Bredon Station-Master (Mr H.A.E.Collins) who found the body.
DR. F.B.E Evans of Tewksbury, was called, but on his arrival Turner was dead.
He was a brother of Mr Jack Turner, the licensee of the Railway Hotel, Bredon and he leaves a wife and several children.
