Find Ancestors

Hi There

I'm hoping some kind person can please lookup a passenger list for the following family:

TURNER William b.1807 Gloucester, England (Father)
TURNER Mary b. 1829 Co Galway, Ireland (Mother)
TURNER John Thomas b. 1846 England (Son)
TURNER Alfred William b. 1838 Oldham, Lancashire, England (Son)
TURNER Amelia b. 1849 either England or onboard ship?.

They would have supposedly arrived in New Zealand prior to the birth of their daughter Sarah on 14 Jul 1851 in Auckland, NZ. I've also been told that William served as a seargent onboard the Berhampore but this has yet to be verified. Really appreciate any help you can give.

Kind Regards

Tracy

(google brings up above, if him on list)

Chris :)

Thanks MarieCeleste...where do I find that index please or can you email me a link to it please?

Thanks Chris :-) .....Will see if I can get someone up in Auckland to do a lookup at library for me or do an interloan...hopefully it has his wife's name.

Tracy, it's from overseas deaths on FindMyPast but it's probably listed on this site too.

But, do bear in mind that it could relate to any Turner death anywhere in the world between 1837 and 1862! There's no info other than on the transcription I posted.

OMG!! Thanks so much Thelma :-). This is them as William was in The Fencibles and this is the right date :-D

Do you know if it's possible to find out the children's names?

No idea but let me Guess
TURNER John Thomas b. 1846 England (Son)
TURNER Alfred William b. 1838 Oldham, Lancashire, England (Son)
TURNER Amelia b. 1849 either England or onboard ship?.

Hahahaha!!! Too funny, just thought I would dot my i's and cross my t's :-).

This has really put a huge smile on my face as I didn't hold out much hope of finding a passenger list from way back then...Thanks Again!!
