Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re: Brompton on Swale

Good Morning,
thanks again for the efforts you both have put into helping me out. At least I now know a lot more about Charles' origins.
I'm afraid the birth certificate doesn't hold any clues, the actual address is just given as Brompton on Swale and Susan herself was the informant.
There seems to be some connection to the Holgate family, as Susan and Charles were recorded in the Holgate's house in 1881.

avm 228,
Did Susan marry a man with the surname Simpson by any chance? My grandfather always gave his name as Charles Edward Simpson Turner!

avm 228,
thanks for that information. That adds up, as there was talk that the family originated in the South of England.

As regards his age, for some reason, he appears to have knocked a few years off. He also gave a wrong age on his wedding certificate! I just wonder if he did this to appear younger to his wife. He was definitely born in 1880.

Hi Pels,
great stuff, it certainly looks like him in the '91 census. I wonder what has happened to his mother, whose name is Susan and not Sarah as I posted earlier.
The birth record is almost certainly correct. Am I correct in assuming that his grandmother's surname is also Turner?

Many thanks
Pete

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Brompton on Swale

I've been trying for ages to find some information about my grandfather. I finally found him on the 1911 census, his birthplace was given as Brompton on Swale.
This in turn led to me acquiring a copy of his birth certificate. His name was Charles Edward Turner, his mother's name was Sarah Turner, no father given on the certificate. I would like to follow the line further back, but I can't find any other enties for either of them in the census records. In fact I only found my grandfather by a piece of luck, in the 1911 census he was listed as Edward Turner ( to my knowledge he was always known as Ted).
If anybody can help in any way, it would be most appreciated.

regards Pete

Durham / Sheriff Hill Asylum

In the 1871 census some of my ancestors are shown as residing in the Sheriff Hill West Side Asylum. Does anybody have any information about this Asylum? My searches have revealed nothing.

There was also the Northern Despatch ( which changed name to the Evening Despatch),
although an evening 'paper it concentrated on Darlington and South Durham.
