Grantham Look-up

[BAK51]

Is anyone able to check directory and voter lists for the early 1960's in Grantham?  I am looking for a Turner family living on Shakespeare Ave, particularly their first names. 

Thank You!!

Thank you, Kathy!

The people I am looking for were my grandmother's nephew & family.  I doubt that generation is still living, but maybe their children - my best hope of finding existing cousins.  If you spot anything else that might point me in that direction, it is most appreciated.

Hi Bak

Have found the following names of Turner family living at 29 Shakespeare Ave.

1957-1964

HERBERT LESLIE TURNER
MONICA TURNER
DAVID.L.W.TURNER

1965-68

ONLY HERBERT + MONICA LIVED THERE.

I will check next Sat and see if David married as that could be the reason he left home also see if I can find out anymore about the Turner families movements.

Hi Kathy -

Herbert is a new name for me.  I have a few pieces of correspondence to my grandmother with first names, but not this one.  On Herbert's mother's death cert., the informant is listed as "Mrs. Turner, daughter-in-law" so I was looking for who that would be and you have found it!  Other siblings in this family were born in the early 1900's in India (father in the military), so Herbert might have been in his 50's-60's in the 1960's.  I appreciate this information so much and would be thrilled if you can provide any further help.

Thanks and thanks again!!!

Hi Bak

I will check on the micro fiche for Grantham cemetary which has a surname index and see if any of the family are on the list its surprising what they put on the headstones (providing they had one) age etc.

Hi Kathy -

Just wondering, if we (well....you) can find a death date for Herbert or Monica, will local newspapers have a death notice with surviving children?

I volunteer at a 170 year old Victorian cemetery locally and am always amazed by the information you can find.  Of course, I wish my family had written their life stories in stone, but that would be too easy, wouldn't it?

Thanks for all your input.
