Who were Edith Annie TURNER's parents??? Please help
« on: Monday 12 January 15 15:15 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,

I am tracing back from Edith Annie Turner, B:15/04/1880 at North Street, Pinxton, Derbyshire. Her parents names were Thomas TURNER and Ellen TURNER formerly GREEN.

However, I can't seem to find any further information on the two, I can't find marriage records, which would I presume then lead me to births and likewise I cannot seem to find any death registrations.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong as I have made good progress to date.?!?!

Any assistance would be muchly appreciated

Many thanks :)

How about this one?

Marriages Sep 1879   
GREEN    Ellen        Basford    7b   213      
GREEN    Thomas        Basford    7b   213    
Turner    Matilda        Basford    7b   213      
Turner    Thomas        Basford    7b   213

Looks as if it could have been a brother and sister marrying a brother and sister.  ;D

1881 census was taken on 3rd April so just before Edith Annie's first birthday, so that maybe why she is down as being born 1881.

Can you see this family in 1861 or 1871 to see if they had a daughter Matilda?
