Flag of Yorkshire (adopted 2008)
Edward Turner was born in Whitby, Yorkshire, England.

Edward Turner was born about 1847 in Whitby, Yorkshire, England [1]. His parents were Edward Turner and Elizabeth Day [citation needed].

In 1851 he was living at Whitby, Yorkshire, England, relationship to head of household: son. [1].

in 1861 he was 14 and employed by his uncle as a draper's assistant at Briggate, Leeds, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom[2]. Leeds was a popular place to move to from Whitby as George Clarke Medd (1817-abt.1894) and Mary Ann Turner (abt.1821-) also moved there. The mid 19th centuary saw great poulation migrations due to the Industrial revolution.

In 1881 he was 34 and single, a draper at Clarke Street, Ecclesall Bierlow, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom living with his two sisters Catherine Turner (1831-) and Margaret Jane (Turner) Kirkness (abt.1828-) and his niece, Ann B (?) Eliza Kirkness (1854-), daughter of his sister Margaret[3].

In 1891 he was 33, a single Draper living at Victoria Road, Ecclesall Bierlow, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom with his sister Catherine Turner (1831-), a visitor Mary M Catley and a servant Emma Mitchell[4].

In 1901 he was single a running a Drapers shop at Victoria Road, Ecclesall Bierlow, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom. He had two domestic servants[5].

In 1911 he was 64 and still single, a "Fancy Draper" in Ecclesall, Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom[6].

Research note

No birth or baptism record has been found but he is evidenced by the 1851 census. It is not likely that the census has an error on his age as the first Edward died in 1847.
