William Peverall Turner was a L/Cpl in the Northumberland Fusiliers I'm surprised he got in the army with a previous conviction of attempted manslaughter

you ask if someone could have gone to work at 12 in 1915. The school leaving age at that time was 12, it was raised to 14 in 1918.

I see you had an earlier thread on this topic. 

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=664688.msg5099849#msg5099849

Yeah 2013  and couldn't find him then. As I said at start of this thread this is my last go at finding him before I give up
And I've had a lot of new information this time around so was worth asking again.

That's not the point DavyTee

Ther thing is, if you start another thread on the same topic as an existing one (however old it is) then there is the risk that people spend their time (which is freely given) looking up things that someone has already looked up, and going over ground you have already gone over.
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

It's all new information I have gathered though
Ok thanks everyone for all your input
I didn't realise it was against the rules to start a new thread four years later I do apologise
I am in touch with William Peverall Turner Grandson and he has solved all my issues.
This thread is now ended
Thanks you've all been great

Not against the rules at all, but it’s useful to know so we don’t cover the same ground again  :)

Please don't leave us up in the air - as Jen said, we've put a lot of time into this and it would be nice to know what happened. If you don't want to put it on a public thread you can send all those who helped here a joint PM.
