Hi
No, Mr Rodger was living in Newcastle!
It's something to bear in mind, perhaps as a very last resort.

There's a death index for William Turner 1923 age 59 in Durham 10A 363 but gives nothing else.
Is there anywhere I could look into that deeper other than ordering death cert ?

ADDED
Actually there's a couple that could be him, all the right age but even ordering the death certs may still not give a clue if it was him.
So what does one do ?

What's the connection with Mr Rodger John I'm a bit lost with that one ?

There's no direct connection  :D

John was pointing out that Mr Rodger died at the RVI, so it wasn't beyond the bounds of possibility that William died there as well, and if so his death would be recorded in Newcastle Registration District.

There is a Billion Graves entry for what looks like it could be that one - William Turner dearly beloved son of Richard & Isabella Peele, died 19 Nov 1923 & buried at Stockton Road Cemetery, Durham.

Scrap that -it looks like the age is 5 years & 8 months

I'm still wondering about the significance of Martha & James not marrying.  Did they know that William was still alive perhaps.

Martha's death notice also makes reference to the Turner surname:

Newcastle Evening Chronicle 21 November 1944
BROWN. Greenside, 2 Landsale Houses. 20th. 74. Martha Isabella (Turner) wife James (late Hamsterley Coll). Inter. Ryton. Thurs. Friends meet cem. 2.45

Is this saying she was buried in Ryton ? As if so i'll have a pop over there on Wednesday and see if William is hanging around there also.

Trying to find William Peverall Turner with Mary Ann in 1911 census and failing miserably.
Can anyone see it ?
