Good evening everyone

I haven't posted my interests for a while but would like to mention a
particular 'brick wall' which is causing me a problem.


I am seeking information regarding the family of John TURNER, Tailor
who lived in Reeth c1815 - 1820. John and his wife(unknown), had a son
George, born c1820 at Reeth who moved to Sacriston, Co Durham
where he married Ann BELL, May 7th 1842. George's
birthplace is recorded as Reeth in the 1851 census.
I have also found in the 1881 census CDs, a William TURNER aged 63,
born at Reeth, living at Willington, Co Durham. I suspect that he may
be a brother of George but again I am unable to establish this. I
would be grateful for any information or suggestions.

Don Morrison. (Fishburn, Co Durham)
