Jacob Turner

[pgod]

Can anyone help with info on a Jacob Turner. I have no birth date or death date. I think in 1881 he was living in MALTING COTTAGE, GREAT OAKLEY, ESSEX. With his wife SARAH, b 1848.  5 Children.
ELLEN MARIA
ELISA  b  1879
JOSEPH  b  1883
FREDERICK  b  1885
SARAH  b  22nd August 1888....d  13th July 1970.

In a later census he was not there, and I have not been able to find out what happened to him.

Would you like any of the earlier census information Paul?

That would be great thanks, but what i am really after is a bit of a family mystery, which we didn't find out about until my nan died a few years ago.  Will try to explain.

My maternal Great Grandparents were SARAH DYE (nee TURNER ) b  1888 and GEORGE DYE.
My nan, and the rest of the family always knew SARAH and GEORGE as my nans parents, but it was only when going through my nans stuff with my mum I discovered something that didn' quite fit.
On my nans birth cert it states that she was born at 13 UNION ROAD, which was a workhouse in Leyton. Her mother on the cert was a JENNY TURNER, a domestic servant at 38 Chingford Road, and the informant was a J. TURNER residing at 13 Union Road. I have no info on her apart from what is on the birth cert. I did go up to the records office in Chelmsford I think it was. Found a few turners living in GREAT OAKLEY, apparently they were a big family in the village. I also found 6 headstones in the graveyard of the church, which incidentally has not been used for sometime. Even with everything i found out I could not find anything to do with a Jenny Turner, So I gave up, and it is only until recently that I have started to try to solve the family mystery. She is definetly something to do with the Turners of Great Oakley, but don't know how, and don't know where to start, with having so little information. I wanted to go to the family records centre in islington, but just don't seem to have the time. So I am basically stumped.

Regards
