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.

  • Notes  Married:
    • 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.
