I have nothing to add to this post, history wise, but i have been enthralled with this from the beginning. First thing i do when i get up every morning (I'm in Australia lol), after making my coffee is sit and read the new comments.

Well done to everyone who has found such amazing information and I bet a brick wall has been halved for you Davy :)

Yes the folks on here have been amazing. It certainly all makes sense now what my Grandad told me as a kid he just got mixed up a little with who was who I think. He certainly never mentioned a stepfather to my Dad as he went to the Menin Gate to look for this William Turner.
Just waiting on this death certificate coming through and see if that gives any more clues to William Turner's death.
I've found a second cousin and am in daily contact thanks to the posts on here.
