Robert Turvill bn 1819.

[peggysmum]

Hello all i wander if anyone can help me. Ive been trying to find for a while now the date of death of my 2 xgg Robert Turvill who was born in harby, leics in 1819 to Robert Turvill 1791-1840 and Mary Pick 1800-1858. He marries Sarah HInks in 1866 although several of there kids where born prior to then, my great gran Matilda was bn in 1871.
The last census entry i can find for him is 1881, sarah died in 1878. he is in leicester st leonard, he is a widower and a coal seller.
I can not find his date of death he doesnt appear to be in the 1891. Matilda was in derby by then so i checked derbyshire but no.
so today i thought i would try R Turvill and various spellings of tur***. i came up with a Richard Turville bn 1826 died 1888 in leicester. I have had a look for this Richard in various census and births and marriages but i can not not find one who fits. SO i wander could richard be robert. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks so much Tracey

Ah thankyou so it seems richard could indeed be my robert. I wander why they registered him as that.
Another mystery like why my great grandad Stevie is buried as William Ellis. Very strange. William Turvill is probably there son who i have as born in 1854.
Why do my ancestors have to be so mysterious.
thankyou Tracey

Just checked my tree and they have a son Richard bn 1869, so it must be a name they used.

And checking the paper, she is wife of Robert, all sent to try us!

A great uncle of mine I knew as Uncle Pete, surprised me when I found his name as Archie Ralph Paul on looking for the marriage to my nan's sister.

well there you are  its no wander i couldnt find him when i looked. just goes to show you really do have to try so many different ways of searching. going back to the records now to spell Loveridge and parker in numerous different ways  just incase.
they really do like to test us dont they.
thanks again for your help. Tracey
