Looking for James S Turnbull born about 1859 in Scotland. I dont know who he married but know he had four children and was living in Sleaford in Lincolnshire.

Hi there,

I've had huge fun with this family. Don't take any of this for gospel, but it all seems to hang in together really well. Here goes:

1891

Quarrington

Turnbull, James S   abt 1859   Scotland   Head, builder’s merchant
Turnbull, Sarah A   abt 1857   Hull, Yorkshire, Wife
Turnbull, Alfred D   abt 1890   Sleaford, Lincolnshire, Son
Turnbull, Alice M   abt 1890   Sleaford, Lincolnshire, Daughter
Turnbull, John H   abt 1888   Sleaford, Lincolnshire, Son
Turnbull, Margaret   abt 1885   Sleaford, Lincolnshire, Daughter


1901

6 London Rd, Quarrington

James S Turnbull   abt 1860    Scotland   Head, builder's merchant
Sarah A Turnbull   abt 1861    Hull, Yorkshire, Wife
Alice M Turnbull   abt 1891    Sleaford, Lincolnshire, Daughter
Florence Turnbull   abt 1893    Sleaford, Lincolnshire, Daughter
Harold Turnbull   abt 1888    Sleaford, Lincolnshire, Son
Margaret Turnbull   abt 1886    Sleaford, Lincolnshire, Daughter
Emma Greetham   abt 1885    Osbournby, Lincolnshire, Servant


POSSIBLE MARRIAGE
June Q. 1884, Bridlington, 9d/518
Spring, Sarah Ann
Turnbull, James Sword

I thought that was pretty much a wild guess until I found the following:


1881

53 South Street, New Sleaford , Lincolnshire

Alfred Darlow   abt 1827    Kirkby La Thorpe, Lincoln, Head, upholsterer
Mary A. Darlow   abt 1827    Newark, Nottinghamshire, Wife
Sarah A. Spring   abt 1861    Hull, Yorkshire, Niece 
Annie Maria Farnham   abt 1866    Barkston, Lincoln, Servant


1871

13 Gibralter Place, St George, London

Charles H Spring   abt 1832    Nottinghamshire, Head, print compositor (unemployed)
Susannah Spring   abt 1826    Lincolnshire, Wife
Alfred A Spring   abt 1858    Hull, Yorkshire, Son
Sarah A Spring   abt 1861    Hull, Yorkshire, Daughter


1861

Bruheim (??) Sq., Sculcoates St Paul, Yorkshire

Susanna Spring   abt 1831    Spalding, Lincolnshire, Wife, printer compositor’s wife
Alfred Archer Spring   abt 1858    Hull, Yorkshire, Son
Sarah Ann Spring   abt 1860    Hull, Yorkshire, Daughter

(Couldn’t see Charles)

MARRIAGE
1854, June q., Spalding, Lincs

Archer, Susannah
Spring, Charles Huckbody

The latter is such a distinctive name that I looked it up specifically on Ancestry and came up with a great big family tree going back many generations! If you don't have access, you can tap into it through worldconnect at Roots.com.

It includes the following;

1 Charles Huckbody Spring b: ABT 1788 d: AFT 1851
  + Mary Conyers b: 1803 d: BEF 1851
    2 Charles Spring b: 1831
    2 Mary Jane Spring b: 1833
    2 William Spring b: 1835
    2 Rebecca Spring b: ABT 1848


If the Spring connection is correct, we could be on to something. (Have to find where the aunt or uncle fits.)

You may have to go to scotlandspeople to find more about James Sword Turnbull (no wonder he was so insistent on his 'S').

Good fun!

Cheers,

Ros

Hello

I was curious to read your post and the reference to Charles Huckbody Spring. My great great grandmother was Mary Jane Jessop nee Spring. She was the daughter of Charles Huckbody Spring And Mary Ann Conyers. If you think you may be related to this family, it would be good to chat to see whether we could exchange information.
