Find Ancestors

You’re welcome :-)

Thank you ErikaH that information is great. I did realise William was illegitimate but hadn't found a parent when I logged off last night.

I have a lot more work to do now, thank you again.

Sue

Thanks for replies, I’ll answer when I’m home later

Don’t guess! Check the births of the children on the FREE Glosbmd site. MMN is recorded.

The GRO site is also FREE - if your enquiries are for other counties.

1871 and 1881 he was living with his grandpa also William Turk.

1901 he was living with his wife Elizabeth who died in 1908

1911 he was living with his wife of 1 year Ann.

I have yet to tie down his Father's name.

I guess I will have to add Dean (thanks rootgatherer) I didn't spot the page no 399 which doesn't match William :-(

Thanks again :-D

From the 1891 census, Charles Bubb is with Annie so looks like William married Elizabeth Dean?

Maybe one of these?
