[Lost Rackley]

I'm looking for my relatives families.

Any Allen children?

Minnie Elizabeth (nee Rackley) Turner 1880-1945 who married William Robert Turner 1879.
Their daughters Minnie Louise Turner 1904-1995 and her sister Kathleen Lilian Turner 1908.

Any Allen children?

Here is the marriage
Jan/FEb/Mar 1886
Brentford
Ref 3a 54
George Allen / Sarah Rackley

Now off to look at 1891/1901 etc censuses

[lizdb]

1891

89 Park Rd Acton
George Allen 26 general labourer bn Hampshire
Sarah 33 wife bn Cowley
Minnie 11 bn Cowley
Charles 1 bn Acton

Lokks as if Minnie was Sarahs from a previous marriage, or illegitimate.

1901 Now in Osborn Rd Acton
Only 11 yr old Charles with them.

1911 look ups aren't allowed, but if you can access that census then Sarah should fill in how many children she had within the marriage and how many died.

Looks like Minnie was illegitimate. Here's 1881 - b Hillingdon unless otherwise stated

Mary Rackley    62 - widow, laundress b Kingston Oxon
William Rackley    28 - son, unmarried, brickmaker
Mary Rackley    25 - daughter, unmarried, laundress
Sarah Rackley    23 - daughter, unmarried, laundress
Minnie Rackley    2 - grand daughter
Richard Horrod    51 - lodger b Cowley

Thanks.
Just found Charles myself too.
Minnie Rackley is a bit of a mystery.
Not even sure Sarah Rackley was her biological mother.
She's marked down on an early census as grand daughter but no parent is stated.

[lizdb]

She is granddaughter to the head of the household in 1881, which is Mary Rackely - who is Sarahs mother.
So most likely she is Sarahs child, although in theory she could be a child of any of Mary's children I suppose. But seeing as she is referred to as a daughter to Sarah and George, it seems most probable she is Sarah's. If you are not convinced, then it will be a case of buying her birth cert.
