Ive tried marriages and likely looking entries in 1901 census. Cant find a Barstow marrying a Turner .
Story was mum adopted because her father left . Looks like he might never have married her mum .

Lost marriage , Help please
Well Ive progressed, Birth certs are great lol
My nan was a widow and married as Sharp
So I now have the sisters Ethel 1894,Alice 1898,Eleanor 1901 all born Attercliffe ,Sheffield
Their father was Arthur Turner 1871 Sheffield .
1st Marriage to Sarah Elizabeth Lamb (d1892)
He then remarried to my ggm Anne (b1870 Sheffield)
So marriage must be between 1892/1894 but I cant find it for her maiden name.
