Thanks for the reply but i dont think this Samuel Turner of St Bathans is my man. Because at one time both were listed on something i looked up.(Cant remember what it was, maybe elect rolls?)Regarding the will of David Hughan i have it already.  thanks anyway

thanks for the help but i keep thinking Jane Turner may have died before 1861 cause on a NZ paper i found on the net referring to the marriage of David Hughan and Hannah Jane Turner being the only daughter of Samuel Turner. No mention of the mother. Do you think this would mean that she had died?

[Kate NZ]

Hi it could mean the mother had died but quite often it stated the fathers name.Do you have Samuels death cert it would state if he was a widower at the time of his death Good luck

regarding Samuel Turner i do have a death certificate dated 1891Caversham aged 77yr  buried at Southern Cemetery Dunedin but pretty much no other details is recorded. So i dont know if this is the correct one. I dont know when he was born and where. i know he was still alive around 1876 from the elect rolls. regarding Jane Turner years ago i scanned the death NZ the only one i could find was a Jane Turner nee Dunn died 1864.
I have scanned the IGI for a Marriage for these 2  cant find a marriage for them in the UK They would have been married before 1845. They only had one child.   IGI doesnt have Hannah Jane Turner born 1845 London either only what my uncle put in there.
Where is Caversham from Taieri?

[alamar]

Caversham is a suburb of Dunedin in the south of the city central business area nowdays.

The Taieri is an area of plains to the south of Dunedin through which the Taieri River flows and on which the major suburb of Mosgiel now stands. It also houses Dunedin's airport. A small range of hills seperates Dunedin from the Taieri area. but they are only a few miles apart. The Taieri was settled right from the time Dunedin was founded. It is low-lying, flat and still floods regularly. Good trout fishing though.

hi azzcinders there seems to be a few Turners buried at the southern cemetery I also found a Mary Turner buried in the West Taieri cemetery she would have been born abt 1845 she died in 1920 aged 75yrs.
I was having problems with some of my family in southern cemetery Bill Sykes archivist Dunedin Library helped me email him re Samuel Turner in Southern Cemetery often there is more than one in the same plot bsykes@dcc.govt.nz good luck
