I don't know if Auntie Maud was a genuine relative.but she was a constant presence in my childhood and remained as part of my life until her death at St. Joseph's Hospice in Hackney in 1978.
Yet I know so very little about her,
She was born in or near Bedford in1887 and was a milliner by trade.
She may well have been a friend or? relative of my maternal grandmother Kate Mary Bulson nee Turner born 1875
The 1911 census lists her as a boarder at my grandmother's house 19 St James Road in Lower Holloway.
Later in life she married a Mr Collins they lived for a while at Bryantwood Road
I know nothing about her husband.
I think he died about 1946 for I remember her in deep mourning.
I will be so grateful for any information or ideas

It looks to me as though she was a Bodsworth-born a little earlier and related to your Turners through her mother (Selina Bodsworth nee Turner).
I don't see a death for her though??

So, Selina Turner (who married Arthur Bodsworth) mother of Maud was the daughter of John Turner (brother of Charles) and therefore the niece of Charles Turner, father of Kate Mary Turner (who married George John Bulson). Therefore Selina and Kate were cousins and so the two girls were cousins once removed.
It can very complicated this family tree lark.
