Elizabeth Turner

We went to one of those burials on Monday, where the wife is put in on top. It was a bit traumatic I must say.
But thanks that probably explains.

 

@Jellylegs - thanks I did find something on FMP too
He paid to be released from his regiment the sum of £9 and was released on31/7/1866 (just in time to marry).
it was Chas Ansted - British Army Service Records set
He attested 22/5/1878, so was somewhere with the regiment on the 1881 census, it matters not now.

Mary Ward the housekeeper on the 1911 census was certainly more than the widow she claimed to be
I thought it odd she had a 1 year old
She had access to the plot and used it as @Chimp said.

Thanks all - you seem to have Charles sorted now.

Anyone had any luck with his mother Elizabeth?

 

Just quickly as should be getting ready for work.

She married a John Gregory in 1886 after Robert died. Think I found marriage on Ancestry. Don't think I could find her on census though.

 

She did and then they both vanish

don't be late for work - thanks for your help

 

Could this be them in Shoreditch in 1891?
John Gregory 67 Butcher and Elizabeth 63 St Augustus Shoreditch
27 RG12 254/108

 

Hmmm, not sure. Elizabeth's age is 14 years out and her birthplace is wrong. When John and Elizabeth married, he gave his occupation as a Labourer.

I think I found this couple together at the same address in 1881 - RG11/407/17/27

 

Sorry, just read through the thread again, and see you already had the marriage

 

Just found in the 1911 census, an Elizabeth GREGORY, Inmate aged 69 born Twickenham in the Kingston Union Workhouse, Coombe Lane, Kingston Upon Thames.

A possibility?

 

I wonder if this is Elizabeth in 1901?

RG13/672/161/35 3 Trafalgar Cottages, Teddington

Elizabeth GREREY, (boarder) widow, 59, Laundry Woman, born Twickenham

 

Thank You so much @Jellylegs
both the 1901 and the 1911 census do look very much like my Elizabeth, and there is a death registered for a 75 year old Elizabeth Gregory in 1917
Kingston 2a 777 - March qtr.
So that puts this daughter to bed, now to tackle the next in line, child number 11 - I may well be back for some more help - please

 

Glad I could help @MollyMay
Luckily, she kept her birth year and place true throughout the census. Couldn't see her in 1891 though. The nearest I came was a Elizabeth and George Gregory, both born Twickenham, but she was about 9 years too young.

Fire away with the next child. I love a challenge - as we all do on here

 

I have been lucky so far that all the Turner children have been steadfast in recording Twickenham as their pob. I think I am going to struggle with the 3 youngest, as they are in the workhouse in 1861.

I will start a new thread for them later this evening.
