I would be very interested in hearing from anyone else that is researching Turner's from Denbighshire. I have researched my direct Turner line back to the 1790's in Ruthin, but have records of Turner's in Ruthin from 1704 onwards. I do know from old court records that one of my ancestors was a Thomas Turner, innkeeper, in Ruthin in 1736. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,l have just started doing that side of my family tree.And have got a bit lost and hit a brick wall with a certain Edward Maldwyn Turner who wed a May Foat in 1934.
They seemed to have had two daughters,a maureen b 1938 in llangollen Wales and a Cherry b 1943 in england.
But like l said hit a brick wall regarding what hapened to the family during and after the war.
Kind Regards
Bernie

Thanks for the reply Bernie. I hope you have success in finding out what happened to them. My tree gets stuck from the 1900's to the present date. I have my direct line going back from me to the early 1700's. I have a nuber of ancestors recorded in the 1800's, it is their descendants I would like to track down. Good luck in your search and let me know how you get on. Best wishes.

Hi
I just sent a reply to the wrong person it was the lady you were chatting to
I have a few Turners from Wrexham in my famyil but as I said it is a common name so maybe not related to you what are the first names you have in the 1800s please

Ruthin is in Denbighshire, so not too far from Ruabon really. I have lots of Turner's in my tree from the 1800's, common christian names are Edward, Thomas, Llewelyn, Ann, David, Catherine and Joseph. I hope that this helps. Some of my Turners are from Ruabon, these include a Maria Turner, Richard Turner, Edward Turner, to name but a few. I hope that this helps.

Reference to Edward Turner, born 1824 in Ruthin, I now have the marriage certificate showing details of his second marriage:
Edward Turner marrying a Sarah Diana Roberts on 10th November 1890. She is listed as being a widow and her father is named as James Richards (deceased). His occupation is a farmer. Edward is also listed as a widower. His father is listed as Edward Turner, deceased, a nailor.
At the time of marriage Edward was 64 and Sarah was 41. Edward's occupation was listed as a Hosier.
The witnesses at the mariage were John Wright and Maria Wright.
I haven't been able to track down details of Sarah's parents or siblings yet.
I hope this helps you Bernie and Vicky.

Another TURNER I am interested in finding out about is a Thomas Turner who is listed in the 1851 census as residing at Turnpike House, Llan. His age is shown as 56, born in Ruthin, listed as being a Chelsea Pensioner. He is married to a Sarah and they have a relative living with them, a Sarah Edwards, age 7, born Llanfwrog, but it does not state what the exact realtionship to Thomas and Sarah is.
I think that Thomas might be the brother of Edward Turner, also born in Ruthin, who I am directly descended from.
I cannot find any reference to this Thomas in the 1841 or 1861 censuses though, perhaps someone can help. He must have been born around 1794 or 1795.
