Title: Abraham and Mary Turner
Post by: chriswms on Tuesday 04 August 15 22:08 BST (UK)
Abraham Turner (1810-1873) married Mary Luke (1810-1871) on Feb 2, 1932.  They were the parents of my great-grandmother Elizabeth Turner who married Stephen Blight Jeffery.  I am trying to definitely determine who Mary's parents were and the dates associated with their births, deaths, and marriage.  if anyone shares these people in their family tree and can give me something definite I would greatly appreciate it.

Do you have Mary on any census?
If so, what does she state as her place of birth?

Thank You All, I have seen the census and the baptisims but there are so many Mary Lukes from this general time that I was hoping to more positively confirm her parents as John Luke and Mary Vincent.  I will certainly post if I find something more definite.  There are a number of family trees that I have found online that include this abraham and mary but her ancestors do not always match.  Just tring to find something definite.
