• Notes

  John Turner (1814) first married Mary Ann Mason in 1838 or 1839, and they had two children, Edward (1840) and Alfred (died aged a few months. We assume that Mary Ann died as well, although we haven't been able to find a death or burial record for her. However, John Turner married Jane Banks in 1849, and they had several children, Alfred, Susannah, Eliza, Jane and some others. If you check the census records for 1851, 61, 71, 81 and 91, you will find the forms for John and Jane and whichever of their children were still living at home. Jane Turner is a good person to search the census records, as she was born in Lynn, Norfolk, which isn't a common combination. At no time did John Turner marry Eliza (we think that the Eliza on the marriage certificate was Susannah's younger sister). In fact Jane Turner outlived John Turner as he does not appear in the 1901 census, but Jane does, living with her daughter Jane, now married to William Cann. per Shelagh Brigg 25 jan 2016.
