Thanks for info so far.
From somewhere I'd got Turner dying 23 March 1857 and being first burial at new Musbury church
which obviously doesn't tally with the 1852 on lancsbmd and the sale info.
One of my ancestors was a gardener there as well as at several other properties in Lancs in his lifetime ending at The Laund in Baxenden.
There is a tale in the Helmshore Historian Summer 1961 based on Haslingden Observer July 16 1927
about Turner trusting one of his gardeners to take a watch for repair and then having the employee
attacked to see if he would protect the goods. Would obviously like this to be my ancestor but have read both these articles and no name given.

I was interested to read that your ancestor was a gardener for William Turner. At the moment myself and a friend are writing a book on the Turners and their influence on Helmshore. We are trying to trace the descendant of one of his gardeners who came to an open day at the parish church a couple of years ago. He had a diary kept by his ancestor when he worked for Turner. Unfortunately, the lady on duty did not take the visitor's name. I wonder if it was you?

Thanks for the personal message. Sorry that I cannot reply to it as a new member on here. And thanks for explaining about the family document. Its funny how details get distorted when passed on second-hand.
