Another fast responce:

Thanks Catherine, I had got the birth details, but you gave me one bit I had missed. The middle initial of E.

Thanks

for information:-

Births Jun 1919 (>99%)
Turner Basil E (Huddy) Taunton 5c 378

so he had a middle name beginning with E (possibly Ewart after father) ?

I am trying to find information on Basil Turner: DOB 17/03/1919, he was born in TAUNTON Somerset England to Ewart Harry Turner and Beatrice Huddy.

The good bit: he apparently Married some time during ww2 to an Albania girl, we think her name was Astrid. We know he was stationed in Albania. Her father was reputed to be a high Commissioner???
We have a picture of the wedding and it looks a grand affair.
Can any one throw any light on this chap?

He would have been my wife’s uncle.
