I am wishing to trace the decedents of William Turner (potter) of Longton 1762-1835. His father was the potter John Turner of Lane End whom I have good information on. It's been 16 years now and I have only managed to get forward a generation or so. I have never been able to trace what happened to the descendants of this brother of my GGGrandfather (John Turner the younger).
(Please note that Lane End is now known as Longton).

The details that I have are:
• Married Elizabeth Wright (1776-1835) on 12 Oct 1799. Her father John may be connected to the Wrights of Eyam Hall but I could never establish a link. He may have been a banker of Stafford.

Surviving children:
• Mary Ann Turner 1801-1878 - no children.
• John Turner 1803-? May not have survived.
• Sarah Turner 1806-1881 married William Palmer 1831 Stoke. They lived in Hanley. 6 children 

Other births to Sarah:
• William Turner Palmer 1833-1872 (nothing else known)
• Henry Palmer 1835-1881 married Clara Atkin 1880 (Burton on Trent ref 6b 449 Henry Palmer / Clara Atkin). Child: Elsie Maud Palmer 1882-1965. (No Children).
• Frederick Palmer who married Ellen Johnson 1864 Hartshill. Frederick had 6 children including Ada Sarah who married Theophilus Hughes 1889 Newcastle.
• Martin Charles Palmer 1838-1873 (I don't think ever married)

The 1851 Census finds her at Edmund St. Hanley with William Palmer 55 as head working as Registrar of BDM Hanley. Sons William 19 Architect & Surveyor b, Shelton ... Henry 18 Writing Clerk b. Shelton ... Frederick 14 b. Shelton ... Martin 13 b. Shelton. They also had a 24yo servant.

The 1871 Census reveals she was receiving a Annuity. Living in her home (26 Church St Hanley) were her 3 sons Martin (architect), Henry (Timber Merchant) & William (architect) (all were over 30+). There was also a 6yo Nephew (b. Newcastle) and a maid.

Ernest Eric Young married, 1912, Elsie Maud, daughter of Col. H. Palmer, J.P., V.D.

Any help in this search would be greatly appreciated.

John Turner bap. 29 Aug 1803, St. John's, Longton.
On checking his fathers will (William) it was found that he died intestate, and the document was in fact a signed statement by William's son to the effect that he was the legal heir. (I seem to recall that it was signed by John but I no longer have that information).

His parents were William & Elizabeth and I have good information on that side of the family however I'm looking for anything on this John. His marriage or death but it is his possible children that I'm looking for to link them elsewhere. (Is there a George?)

I am chasing the family line of my cousins g/grandfather "John Doolan". From his death record he was born abt 1831. Died 1899 Glen Innes NSW Australia.

I have found an Assisted Immigrant record of a John Doolan who arrived on the David McIver 1852 aged 20 which reveals a birth year of 1832 so it is likely to be him. He arrived with a brother and sister "Mary" aged 18. Unfortunately the NSW Records Office has a broken link so I cannot see the actual page itself. I do know he was catholic and with a name like Doolan I expect he will be Irish.

My research into the ship reveals it loaded at Liverpool as well as Plymouth where it left 31 Dec 1851 with 4 cabin passengers and 344 Govt. Emigrants in steerage.

So can anybody advise me if I can find the embarkation records for the ship at Liverpool and Plymouth? I am hoping to find his place of birth or native place listed before I start searching for Baptism records.

Any other suggestions would be gratefully received.

Trying to find the descendant family line of John & Mary Turner who Leased Brewood Hall, Brewood. John died 1824 & Mary died 1840. Their children who had not already left continued to live in the Hall till 1853. John built Lightwood Lodge 1802 (probably the suburb was named after it) near Longton, Stoke on Trent. He was bankrupt in 1806 but likely continued to live in the lodge until 1815 and then leased Brewood Hall. (His parents were John Turner & Ann Emery of whom I have good information)

I have found info of nine children of John & Mary.
John Entwhistle Turner ... b.abt 1804 Lightwood d.1877 Emigrated to Australia 1828
Walter Turner ... b.abt 1806 Lightwood - possibly died 1882 Barton upon Irwell, Lancs (no further knowledge)
Ann Turner ... b. 6 May 1807 Lightwood - d. 8 May 1835 Brewood (died in the name of Turner so no marriage)
Mary Turner ... b. 20 Nov 1808 Lightwood (no further knowledge possibly died 1840)
Henry Turner ... b. abt 1809 Lightwood - d. Aug 1878 Wolverhampton. (He was a lawyer & would have moved to Wolverhampton sometime after his sister Ann's death May 1853. Haven't found a marriage yet. Bankrupt 1851)
Margaret Turner ... b. 1810 Lightwood. (d. possibly 1861 Worthing nr Brighton )
Thomas Turner ... b. 1812 Lightwood d. 1833 (Followed his brother to Australia in 1833)
Edward Turner ... b.abt 1812 Lightwood d. Sept 1837 Brewood
George Turner ... b. 1914 - (vague info of a surgeon in the army in India ... Nothing found)

I have good information on the brothers John Entwistle and Thomas that settled in Australia but I'd like to know more of their siblings that remained in England.

Any information on their children would be gratefully received.
