The death I gave could well be wrong. Do you know if she had any children?

It wasn't Percy L Turner was it? He married in 1930 but to a May Joyce in Birmingham.

If he is your blood relative what relation to you is he?

Have you got the marriage certificate Yvonne? I wondered where you got her age from.

Did his brothers include William, Sidney Charles and Reginald Arthur.
If so, is this his birth?
Births Dec 1903
Turner Percy Leonard King's N. 6c 377

If this is the right family, and you search on here for a Percy born 1903, you will see a lady named Gay and she has the brothers in her tree. If you contact her she may be able to help.

I can’t find a likely death for him, or any definite children I’m afraid. Could he have emigrated do you think? Have you managed to trace any of the descendants of the other brothers who might have an idea what happened to him?

Hi Yvonne

If you go to the top left of the page you can put in first and second name, then search. It will tell you that there are hundreds, so instead of clicking on 'View tree matches' click on 'Amend search' underneath. Then you can put in a birth year and +/- 1 etc. In this case though you only need to put in 1903 and I believe that Gay is on the second page.

Shout up if you need help. We all have to start somewhere :)

Judging by the free search I did on 1911 I think this is them in 1901 -

Name: William H Turner
Age: 27
Estimated birth year: abt 1874
Relation: Head
Spouse's name: Elizabeth Turner
Gender: Male
Where born: Moseley, Worcestershire, England

Civil Parish: Balsall Heath
Ecclesiastical parish: St Paul
County/Island: Worcestershire
Country: England

Registration district: Kings Norton
Sub-registration district: Kings Norton
ED, institution, or vessel: 80
Neighbors: View others on page
Household schedule number: 161
Household Members: Name Age
William H Turner 27
Elizabeth Turner 24
William T Turner 5
Reginald A Turner 2
Arthur J Nicholls 28
Ann E Nash 49

Arthur J NIcholls is listed as brother in law - so this looks like the marriage of the parents -

Marriages Sep 1895
Butterworth William Henry Birmingham 6d 265
Hart George Frederick Birmingham 6d 265
***** Nicholls Elizabeth Birmingham 6d 265
Price Emily Birmingham 6d 265
