Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1861 census lookup please - Turner
« on: Friday 07 November 08 08:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hi.
I  have most of the Turners from Cheddleton, Leek and Brown Edge Area.  They were mostly Master Blacksmiths or  Wheelwrights from 1750 Until my great grandfather.  Although the records show them as being from Cheddleton they actually lived what is now called Longsdon/Ladderedge on the old road from Leek to Norton.
1855 Richard was the son of John and Sarah who was the son of Richard and Ellen who was the son of Richard and Ellen Fynney  from there you can go back on the Fynney side to the lords and ladies if the De Fiennes family and the Broughs or DE Berg to all the Kings and Queens of Europe.
If You look at www.brownedge.com  under families I have most of the Turner Family there in a family tree.
There is a likely story that the Turners came to Leek and were descended from the Normans  I know that Anthea Turner Has a family Book with all this documented as when she was on Blue Peter they did an article on it.
I have had my DNA tested and it doesn't match any one else's but is of Norse origin so maybe the Norman story is true.  Would like other Turners from North Staffs to take part in the Turner DNA project.
Pete
