Research Notes

There is no sign of a baptism in Turweston, nor of a local birth registration. There is however a John Miller in the 1851 Census at Turweston: https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBC%2F1851%2F0007132779. But the parents are Joseph and Hannah, not Henry and Margaret. And this is confirmed by subsequent census when John is still in Turweston e.g. 1871: https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBC%2F1871%2F0016762809.

Got to be some doubt that the person who died in Australia was born in Turweston - only possible if the profiled parents are incorrect.
