[JenB]

Less of this defeatist talk please 

[jonwarrn]

I would go to advanced search and in the use exact phrase box put
"affray at lintz colliery"

I'm totally ashamed what a wimp my Great Grandfather was 

[DavyTee68]

I'm guessing the Margaret Turner mentioned is George Turners wife ?
Actually the article makes it sound like Margaret Turner is Williams wife so therefore not my William
But then his brother was George Morland Turner
So who the hell is Margaret Turner

[Jomot]

Margaret & Martha could be easily muddled up.  I think in itself it isn't enough to dismiss it as being your William.

Just to add to the annoyance, I can't find George Morland Turner after this either.  Earlier census have him as born c1867 Penshaw/Pensher, married to Agnes.

I've only got George up to the 1881 census on my tree

Maybe William is with them on the 1911 census

That's what I was looking for, but I cant find them after the newspaper article.

Agnes' maiden name looks like it was Peveril or similar
