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.

    • 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.
