John Turnock c1806

Kathleen Report 3 Dec 2014 12:26

I'm looking for the wife (wives) of John Turnock c1806 Poynton, Cheshire,England.
I can't find any details about his parents either. I have info on 5 children only
The infomation I do have is as follows:-
He was a coal miner and part time farmer of 6 acres, the family lives at the freehold cottages,Lower Park, Birches Farm, according to the 1872 Electoral roll. I presume he died around 1877 as there are no more entries for him on the electoral roll after 1877. I found a John Turnock in the Wills section of Genes reunited and that was dated 1877 too I think his wife was called Mary as her Christian name appeared on the 1851 census. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.
