How do you know her precise birthdate without having her birth certificate?



This cert should give you her parents.

Possible marriage which ties in with the 1911 found by Jonesey and the 1901 posted by Jackie:

Marriages Mar 1894 (>99%)

>>>>BAINES Mary Ann Leighton B. 3b 605
Johnson William George Leighton B. 3b 605
>>>>>Turney William Leighton B. 3b 605
West Emily Leighton B. 3b 605

You really should get Eva's birth cert which would give her mother's maiden name and help confirm the above.

At the this stage don't understand why you were asking for info about Eva's family if you already had her birth cert.

You say William is named on her wedding cert but is he not also on her birth cert too ?

Hi Andrew I am still looking for Eva May Turney B1902
Mother Minnie Tucker B1873 family. I have Minnie Tuckers parents as as John Tucker B1835 and Jane Inwards B 1839. I can trace records of John & Jane being together in the 1901 census,and 1891census, In 1881 census and 1871 census it shows Rachel Inwards B 1836 as John Tuckers wife. I believe he married Jane in 1855
I have no trace of Jane in any census before 1881
I am rather confused as John seems to have two wifes at the same time unless Rachel changed her name to Jane.
I think John remarried in 1887 to Jane Emerton, I wonder if this where the mix up is.

Help Carol
