Hi pgod.
I know it's been a few years since you posted on this site re: Jenny Turner. I have just found the post you posted and am amazed that my story is almost EXACTLY the same. My grandmother died with the entire family believing that William John Turner & his wife Annie were her parents. However that was not the case. Her mothers name on her birth certificate was JENNY TURNER - no father listed. She was born in Salvation Army home for un married mothers in 1907. William John was Jacobs eldest son from Wix,Essex. You say that your grandmother was brought up by Sarah & George Dye. Sarah was Jacobs youngest child. One of the things that confuses me is Sarah & George married in 1914 & Maud Ellen was born in 1911. Jenny left my grandmother with William & Annie in 1907. Where was she between 1907-1911?? Have you uncovered anymore info? Would be great to discuss & maybe solve this mystey. Thank you. jsg345
