[JennMorgon]

Hello,
If anyone has access to 1881 and 1891 census returns for Gloucester I would be really grateful you could let me have details for John Turk born circa 1842 in Gloucester and his wife Mary Turk born circa 1843 in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire.  Many thanks

Thank you KGarrad.  I am fairly new to family research and didn't realise that there are so many places to look for information.  Thank you so much

Just done a search with GRO death index.  It appears that three of the children died in December Quarter 1870 - Frank aged 1, Caroline aged 3 and Frederick aged 5 - hence them not appearing on the 1871 census. So very sad for the family to lose three young children so quickly
Thanks again for your help.  Now need to see if there are any parish records of their burials
