Turner / Bowskill Owston Lincs.
« on: Friday 11 March 11 00:07 GMT (UK) »
Does anybody have further information on a Benjamin Turner (b.1806, Lincolnshire) or his family? He married Elizabeth Bowskill (b.1808, Owston) at Owston in 1828. They had 5 children that I could find: Lucy (1833), John Matthew (1836), John (1844-1906), Jane (1847) and Elizabeth (1854).
John is my wife's gg grandfather. I don't know the fate of any of the others and couldn't find Benjamin's parents. Can anyone do some local lookups? Thank you lots...

Try as I might, I can't seem to find this 1851 census return that you refer to using the Ancestry website. The only close one I have seen has Elizabeth down as being born at Epworth in 1803 and a husband called John who was born in Snaith in 1796.

How & where did you access this census return? I really would love to be able to find it! Help!!

Thanks.

Only the genius that is Geoff-E  ;D can find entries when Ancestry transcribe Turner as 'Surace'.  :-X

Hello Pam :)  Other census suppliers are available ;)  All census suppliers are fallible :(

Hello Geoff :)
I referred specifically to Ancestry because that's the site that Greentrad said they were using.

Try freereg.org.uk there is the baptism of Benjamin at Epworth & baptism of several of the children also the marriage of Turner & Bowskill. Lincolnshire is well covered on this site
Chapman - Antrim/Liverpool
Harde - Swansea
Lewis - Glamorgan
Eley - Lincolnshire
Guntrip - Acton
