• Notes

  He seems to have been a Baptist (family sources). Whilst there is no clear support for this, the Manchester Evening News of 15/12/1926 reports the following:- ---------------------------------------- OLD FOLKS' TEA Mr Edward Turner is the hon treasurer for a fund for organising a tea and ?treat? for old folks on January 17. The fund is organised in conjunction with Grosvenor Street Baptist Church, Chorlton-on-Medlock, and Mr Turner's address is 5, Pembroke Grove, Plymouth Grove, Manchester. Would you permit me to .......... ----------------------------------------- Also at the 1911 Census is Elizabeth Bradshaw, aunt, aged 63, unmarried - is this his mother's sister? There are no clear indications of what happens next, but there is a death Q3, 1934, Manchester North, aged 68 which is consistent with the other information.
