Canada Lookup Requests Completed / Death lookup George Turner Toronto
« on: Sunday 11 January 26 00:19 GMT (UK)  »
I'm currently doing research on my cousin George Turner he also went by (Wes or Wesley) he was born January 10 1917 in Toronto and we were told passed away during the 2nd world war between 1940-1945. I tried looking up the war dead but he wasn't located in those records. His birth mother was Beatrice Turner but was raised by George and Ellen Turner in Toronto Ontario. I'm trying to help his daughter (who he never knew about find out what happened to her dad) Any suggestions or help on how to find what happened to him would be greatly appreciated.

I did come across that other sons birth record yesterday for Abner and Lucinda but haven't been able to track anything about him other than the birth itself. He's not listed on the next census they are on so figure he probably died that or living with other family. I might try and see if the location address might turn something up. With the younger Abner being in Dunklin I figure that's him since by 1886 he married Lucinda in Dunklin I do have a marriage record for them.
Does make me question if there is some connection with that name to the Bennett family I have yet to look into. Maybe relatives from the mothers side or maybe the fathers if he was born out of wedlock. I'll have to give that a try and see what turns up. Hopefully I can figure this out. So far no luck looking through the probate records but there are quite a few so fingers crossed I come across something about Abner there.

Thank you for the link to the probate records hopefully he'll be in there somewhere. I hadn't seen that before so might be a good chance.
I haven't found where all his kids are all buried at but slowly going through each. A lot of his kids moved around too so it's been fun trying to track it all down. I've been doing this for a friend so trying hard to help break the mystery. Thank you all again for the advice and help I really appreciate it  :)

There was one record I came across that listed his birth place as Illinois so I'll give that a try too. I was unware that it was so common for the birth places to me listed incorrectly. There have been 3 locations I've seen on records so hopefully will be one of them  :). I just started looking into the military records and possible son being named after a father. I'll check to see if any of the girls are named after the mother as well.
I had come across the newspaper article about his death but wasn't sure what paper it was from. I've been a bit stuck trying to locate the death certificate. I came across one site for deaths from Arkansas but it started in 1914 unfortunately  :(.
Thank you all so much for the ideas on how to hopefully solve this mystery.

I haven't done that yet, I'll give that a try. Thank you so much  :)

Thank you I'll definitely try to see if I can find that. So far I've been unable to track down a death certificate for him other then what I believe is a newspaper article about his death. I've tried searching on ancestry with no luck. Any site suggestions for deaths in Arkansas circa 1903?

US Lookup Requests / Looking for parents of Abner Bennett 1863-1903 Missouri/Arkansas
« on: Friday 17 November 23 16:22 GMT (UK)  »
I've hit a bit of a brick wall and I'm trying to locate information about the parents of Abner B Bennett on the 1880 census it lists that he was born in Missouri and says estimated birth to be about 1863 he wasn't living with family at the time. He did marry a Lucinda Hicks around 1886 and moved to Clay Arkansas. On some newspaper articles it has listed him as AB and BA Bennett. His death from what I've seen in an article never listed his first name only stated that he had been Lucinda Bennett's husband and died around March of 1903. I can't seem to locate anything prior to the 1880 census record, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have checked for her death in the past. William and Margaret did lose their one daughter Ethel at the age of 1 but I have no idea what happened with Mary. I looked into the marriage with Thomas and found a 1911 census which I feel proves this is infact my great grandaunt. She had a son named William Walton Blenkinsop. Thank you both so much for the help this has definitely finally answered a lot of questions for me  :)
