Jeanette thank alot, that is great news so i may have found loads of family now, It really helps to have help and support and most importantly advice from others, sometimes you are so close to the issue in hand you miss the obvious, Keep up the good work kind regards Pat

looked back Samuel did have a brother Joseph but didnt have a daughter Alice so perhaps a cousin must be related I would think as close to where the Purchase's live or just coinsidance Jeanette

Jeanette I am going to do a print off because you never now with this hobby LOL, thanks for your help it is really appreciated. Pat

its 1871 so wont be your Alice but Samuel could be brother or cousin of Joseph Jeanette

Now this is getting even more confusing searched on IGI and the one reg gave me the info for has a father called john but there is another and her father is Joseph, so it looks like it is the other one, so it seems i have located her, it states that her mother is Jane. Thank you everyone for helping

I dont know what to think because the birth cert says Joseph, what is your opinion ??

On freebmd i have located Alice born Jun 1857 and she has a middle name Jane.

well done reggie, so that solves where she was born, thats one brick down LOL

So, this is Alice in 1881.......birthplace Dudley Name: Alice Turner Age: 25 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1856 Relation: Wife Spouses's Name: Robert Gender: Female Where Born: Didlas, Worcestershire, England Civil parish: Openshaw County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street address: 12 Bennett St Condition as to marriage: Married Education: Employment status: View image Occupation: Machinist Registration district: Chorlton Sub registration district: Ardwick ED, institution, or vessel: 63 Neighbors: View others on page Might help with the search........... The marriage took place in Birmingham........ Reg

She Married Robert Turner, i have found them on later census, it is just a huge brick wall regarding her family. ta

Who did she marry? Reg

the witnesses look like William Purchase and Amelia Purchase, in 1873 on the marriage cert Joseph Chinn is deceased, his occupation was fishing rod manufacturer Ta

It is definatly Joseph it is on her marriage certificate. thank you

Jennifer, had spotted that one lol.

I'm guessing that you're working from a marriage cert.........do you have the names of the witnesses? Unless her father was a witness, you don't really know who he was........... Reg

Hi there is an Alice with a father called John from Solihull Warwickshire. : Name Age Arnold Allday 15 Alice E Chinn 8 Catherine Chinn 9 Clara I Chinn 10 Mo Frances A Chinn 31 Frances C Chinn 6 John Chinn 37 Mary A Chinn 3 Robert H Chinn 4 Martha Gibbons 19 Sarah Houghton 14 Maria Kimbell 45 David Warwick 17

My first guess would be Warwickshire, probably Birmingham, here birth year is calculation so it may be a year either way. thank you
