Jackie, you can go ahead and give all the information you want to give, all at once and not in dribs and drabs :-)

nobody here knows anything about these people unless you tell us !

when would these children have been born? does 'early 1900s' mean before 1910, or sometime before 1930, or 1950 ... ?

(are you wanting to find family of those children today?)

it could be that the Turners that GlitterBaby posted bought the forge later ... but Minnie would have been too old to be having children then ... by 1911 she was 42 and had been marred 25 years

is it possible that their daughter Rhoda was the woman in question that your great-grandfather had children with?

she was 14 in 1901, would that match your great-grandfather's age at all?

if you want to tell us his name, we could look for births that might have happened after 1911

or ... you can do that yourself by going to

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

and select Births and then put your great-grandfather's surname for Surname and Turner for Mother Surname

but that would only work if the children were born after 1911 and were given your great-grandfather's surname

They appear to have a daughter, Rhoda, in the 1901 census, age 14, but does not show with them in 1891?

1911

Thomas and Minnie Turner are living at 164 New Barn Street, Victoria Dks, Plaistow, London, E


BUT the image says only one child born after 25 years of marriage


A blacksmith lived at no 34 in 1911 but not a Turner


Need some feedback

Any idea of the year, or even the decade please?

If it was after 1911, then you may have to resort to Electoral Rolls.
