I’d like to introduce…

Edward George "Ted" Turner

Edward George Turner, known affectionately to his family and friends as Ted, was a kind hearted, gregarious, right jolly English gent, loved by all who knew him. He was born on the 27th of June 1911 at Blake Cottage, Horn Street in Winslow, Buckinghamshire, where his father was employed as head groom to Mr Gosling of Blake House.

And His Lovely Wife…

1  Family: F789
 
2 Esther Coles and James Reed, probably Sarah's brother, witnessed the marriage. Family: F76
 
3 John Davis and Ann Curtis witnessed the marriage. Two years later, [couple:given] were probably living at Fisher Row because that's the address on their second child's birth certificate. William Howkins, Mary Ann's brother was most likely managing the Running Horses by that time and was living there with his family in 1851. Family: F43
 
4 Witnesses were Charles Wilman, Lizzie Moyses, and Bertha Peach. Family: F11
 
5 , and the witnesses were Thomas and Elizabeth Scott. [husband:first] and [wife:first] had only one child, as James died just six years after their marriage. Family: F20
 
6 and shortly after that settled in the St Peter le Bailey parish, which is where their children were baptized. There was another Thomas Curtis, born in Charlbury, also married to an Ann, who was baptizing children in St Giles at the same time as our couple because they were living in Summmertown, which didn't have its own parish church. However that was Ann Humphries, who had married her Thomas, a laborer, in Eynesham in 1819 Family: F780
 
7 He was 21, and sadly, this couple would have a very short marriage and only one child as William became ill and died four years later. Family: F79
 
8 Over the next 10 years they had six children together, but sadly [wife:first] became infected with TB and died when their youngest child was just two years old. It's difficult to say how long Jane was ill before she died: it could have months or even years. It seems that [Husband:first] died shortly after, as we know from the 1881 census that their children were by that point under the care of various relatives. Family: F24
 
9 That's where their first two children were born. Lorrie and the children continued to live at Blake House while Leonard served in WWII. Edward Lambert Gosling was a stock broker, single in 1911, with quite a large staff of servants and grooms. In 1911, Leonard's step brother Arthur John Turner was living with them. He was a soldier - Light Infantry Oxon & Bucks and fought in WWI Family: F12
 
10 The witnesses were William Everett and Samuel Throssell. [couple:first] had four children in the eight years of their marriage, which ended with Elizabeth's death in 1788. [Husband:first] married Family: F878
 
11 Their fathers were both boatmen in the 1850s and 60s in Oxford and probably knew each other. It's easy to imagine that Walter and Mary Ann were childhood friends. Family: F10
 
12 We don't know much about this family. They had one daughter and five sons, who all seemed to have worked in the agricultural industry. Family: F938
 
13 Witnesses were Harry's father Charles and his sister Annie. At the time of his marriage, Harry lived in Greenham, Berks and listed his occupation as Fly Proprietor, which meant he drove a "fly" - a one horse two wheeled light carriage. Fly Proprietors typically employed fly drivers for hire and usually owned the flys themselves. Quite possibly, Harry was in partnership with his father Charles, who owned flys of his own in addition to the bakery, according to the 1871 Caversham Census. In 1875, Harry and Louisa moved their family to Great Marlow. Family: F17
 
14 Witnesses were John and Eleanor Bates. [wife:first] was living in South Weston at the time, a tiny hamlet with less than 20 houses, about a mile from Lewknor. Their first two children were baptized at the Weston Church, and the rest were baptized in Lewknor. They may have lived in Postcombe, which was too small to have it's own church. Family: F937
 
15 Witnesses were John and Sarah Scott. Steeple Claydon was [wife:first:poss] parish; the marriage entry noted that [husband:first] was from Marsh Gibbon. Family: F946
 
16 Witnesses were Lorrie's father Henry and her sister Elsie Baker. ( It's bears noting that Leonard's name on the marriage certificate is "Frederick Leonard." He took his brother's name after Frederick was killed fighting in the Boer War.) Leonard and Lorrie's first two children were born and baptized in Hoggeston Family: F12
 
17 Witnesses were Thomas and Ann Bonfield.. They lived at Peterborough Town End of Whittlesey during their marriage. [husband:first] and [wife:first] had four children together before [wife:heshe] died in 1820. Their first son, John, died as an infant. Family: F767
 
18 Witnessing the wedding were William Davies and Mary Edwards. They lived along the southern side of Hythe Bridge, where William and his brother John and their families were an intregal part of the colorful life at Fisher Row. Family: F786
 
19 [wife:first] was 21 and had her first child a year later. She gave birth to 11 children over a span of 18 years Family: F78
 
20 , which was Mary Ann's parish, as Charles was still living at St Aldates. A note in the margin of the register indicates the marriage was settled two days later. Family: F42
 
21 According to a handwritten genealogy in the Buckinghamshire Studies center, John married Audrey Knowles of hartwell in 1682. Family: F1328
 
22 At the time of the wedding, Ann was living in Swanbourne Family: F1341
 
23 Both were described as living in Edgcott, which was a mile from St Leonard's in Grendon Underwood. Family: F892
 
24 By 1881, Charles was still a baker, but he and Ellen had moved to an apartment Greenham Villas and their son Charles was living on Prospect Street at the bakery and was a Corn Merchant. Family: F22
 
25 Contrary to what many online genealogists assume to be true, this [Husband:First] did NOT marry <[wife:first]> Humphries on 23 May 1767 in Buford. That couple stayed in Burford, baptizing quite a few children in the 1770s while this couple was doing the same in Caversham. Family: F762
 
26 Daniel was a broker and he and Mary moved to London sometime before 1808. Family: F954
 
27 Elizabeth was from the St Michael's parish Family: F1077
 
28 He farmed 80 acres and was a butcher employing several men. Family: F739
 
29 He is described on the census as a widower living with his son William, daughter Clara Louisa, and an 18 year old servant girl named Agnes Oliver. Family: F10
 
30 He took out a marriage bond for this marriage, John CollinGs. try to order it. It is listed in the pdf bond index on the www.whipple.org website. Family: F975
 
31 He was 14 years her senior. One of the witnesses of the wedding was Mary Sellar, Esther's sister, and presumably Annie's godmother? She was also a dressmaker in Winslow. Family: F18
 
32 He was a bargeman. Family: F791
 
33 He was a blacksmith. His father was Joseph Hancock, a dairyman. Family: F711
 
34 He was a butcher from Winslow; the son of Frank Doggrell, a signalman. Family: F713
 
35 He was a Lance Corporal from Hoggeston. His father was William Lankester, a horsekeeper. Family: F714
 
36 He was a licensed victualler. Louisa's younger brother Henry lived with them. he was 12. Family: F17
 
37 He was able to write, as he signed his own name in the register. He wrote Okey, although the parish clerk wrote Oakey. Family: F766
 
38 It looks like William's Aunt Sarah (sister of Thomas) married Thomas Harding New, a farmer, and they lived for at least a brief time in Caversham as that is where they baptized their first child Francis Thomas in sep 1849. William was living with Thomas and Sarah in Headington Oxon on the 1851 census. Thomas at 47 was retired and William was working as a farm laborer. I would imagine the Turners might have met the Gale brothers through Sarah. Family: F1168
 
39 Mary's Aunt Sarah had named her as executrix of her estate. According to her will, Sarah held a promisary note of £1000 which she had lent to Mary's husband Charles. Family: F1084
 
40 maybe not Family: F786
 
41 No record marriage has been found, however their names are mentioned in the parish register when their children were baptized. They must have been married, or the entries would have read "bastard child of". Family: F751
 
42 Sarah was also a widow, her married name was Dormier, so I suspect she was married to Harriet's brother. Family: F1149
 
43 She was a spinster. Family: F1061
 
44 The 1861 Caversham Census records show the family was living on Prospect Street, probably above their bakery. The shop was on the corner of Chester Street and was about a mile from where his father's had been in Emmer Green. Along with [couple:first] and their 4 children, other members of the household included a neice, Hannah Brown, age 12, and a bakery servant, George Pitts, age 19. Sadly, Charles and Ellen would lose their daughter Ellen Louisa just 4 years later when succombed to pleurisy at the age of 15. Family: F22
 
45 The marriage certificate confirmed that Alfred's father was John the Baker, and that birth register record was an error. Family: F765
 
46 The pub/inn also had a very nice stable. Whaddon is a village about 5 miles north of Winslow, where their third child was born in 1927. Family: F12
 
47 The witnesses were William's mother Ann and William Lipscom, who for whatever reason witnessed the majority of the marriages in that era. Family: F919
 
48 They had William about a year later, followed by possibly as many as three more children. Family: F803
 
49 They were both from Borough Fen at the time of their wedding. Family: F1060
 
50 They were still at the same address in 1871 and by that time Charles had purchased one or more flys and was a Fly Proprietor in addition to running the bakery. Their son Harry had married and moved away the year before, but their oldest son Charles was still living at home and was also a baker. Ellen and their daughter Annie worked as assistants in the shop. A servant named George Hall, who's occupation is listed as Fly Driver, and Elizabeth Pusey, age 72, a boarder and former shop keeper, were also part of their household. Family: F22
