Hi,
Mostly what you already know but maybe some new bits.
Cleaning out the notes
When Gilbert Noah TURNER deserted his wife Mary Jane (nee MANN) she advertised …..
Gilbert Noah -Turner is notified that his wife intends to marry again unless he communicates
cates with her at once. November 1904
There is a tree on Ancestry which is best
ignored as it is very muddled between 2 men , father and son, named Gilbert Noah TURNER.
As mentioned, after deserting his wife and children, one of whom was Florence Rose TURNER born 1890, the husband of Mary Jane (nee MANN) Gilbert Noah TURNER appears to have married Ethel FOLLERS in NSW in 1910 and died in 1942. Parents not known.
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/17785399 His probable birth in Vic shows 1870. Father William Henry and mother Janet McKINNON. Geelong. #15949.
Only a certificate of the marriage to FOLLERS could indicate whether this is the right man . There is a 1942 probate notification in his estate granted to people of the surname FOLLERS
Florence Rose TURNER, (b. 1890) had 2 children to Arthur MAGUIRE, Florence Rose (jnr) 1906 and Arthur Samuel 1907.
I believe the marriage to of Flo Rose (b 1890) (later Kelly) to Richard Marston was in late December 1909 and the birth of the child Richard Leslie also in December of 1909, but before the marriage.
In Reply 3 you have given us the MC for daughter of Florence Rose (b.1906) in which her mother now surnamed KELLY, has given consent.
I do find it interesting that despite her mother consenting, the bride’s family knowledge is inaccurate. She states John Marston is her father (which he wasn’t…seems to be Arthur Maguire…. and the given name is incorrect too) and also the wrong maiden name for the very woman who consents…her mother.
By 1925 Richard MARSTON is residing with one Ethel Maud who uses the surname Marston. It may have been Richard’s wish, made known to her, that he was buried with his son Richard Leslie who had died all those years before he did.
