Turnbull - Cramlington 1800 to 1945

[c-side]

Check in again when you get back from Italy - we still need to find a Robert 

[muso_bob]

With my grandfather being born about 1892/3 I think the Rothbury born 1849 is possibly his father and the Lancelot AR Turnbull also born Rothbury 1853 his brother - therefore Robert my GF's uncle. Hence the witness signature on my Grandfather's marriage certificate being Lancelot Allgood (Robert the father deceased). So to kill off the right Robert before 1922 and to try and confirm Robert 1849 as the father is the challenge. This I am pulling together from Michael's input. So if it is - it is - if it isn't then I have at least elimanes another suspect and am loser to the right one.

I just hope the opportunity eventually comes for me to be able to help others as you all have done. Grazie from Firenze.

Regarding the above:
Robert b.1880 emigrates to Canada in 1923.  He is married to Jean, occupation Engine Driver and gives nearest relative as: Lancelot A. Turnbull, Sea Houses, Chathill, Northumberland - so he is obviously not the Robert you are searching for.

Back on UK soil again. Visited Soc of Gen London yesterday and downloaded a number of 1911 census for Lancelot Turnbull. There are only 9 in total. There are no Roberts included that could be a brother of my grandfather, so the link will be cousin or uncle I feel. I also saw umpteen Robert Turnbull 1911 census - I have many now to analyse and try to create a map. This with the information I have received on this site may just get me somewhere. I will add details as I dissect.

I have also traced my mother's siblings and starting to gather them together. Would be amazing if any relatives out there! My grandfather was a coal cutter, coal miner, colliery engine (locomotive) fireman, stone miner in coal mine. These taken from certificates I have that are factual.

Welcome back Bob. I'm amazed that there are 9 Lancelot Turnbulls about.  Just a thought, and i may be wrong here, but i believe the 1911c was hand-written by the householder. If so you may be able to compare the handwriting with the signature from the marriage cert to id the correct Lance.

If the marriage cert was from the GRO office you cannot compare signatures.  You would have to look a the parish record if they married there.  Or beg (it could take on hands and knees) the appropriate register office to show you the book.
