Gregory Rogers seeks Horace Walter Turner (b. ca. 1901, KA), an engineer at a Standard Oil Refinery, one daughter of whom, Ardath Mary Turner, b. 1923 at El Segundo, CA (where the Standard Oil Refinery is), which Horace is said to have resided some time or other in San Diego County too. Gregory wondered about a Horace Turner on the SSDI died at North Hollywood. Larry Turner posted a claim on this list for the North Hollywood Horace Turner, saying that's probably his uncle, Horace Fraser Turner, if the death date is year 2000. OK. To kill some time today, I looked up Horace Turner (d. North Hollywood) on the SSDI at www.rootsweb.com. That one died year 2000 all right. Larry Turner's claim probably stands. Gregory Rogers is probably out one grandpa. ***BUT*** near or at the bottom of the display with the North Hollywood Larry uncle appears a Horace Turner b. July 1, 1901 d. March 1979, ZIP code 92050. Now, ZIP 92050 *ought* to be in San Diego County, though I tried to find it, and I cannot. Now the fun begins. (ATTENTION DONNA WHO LOOKS UP SAN DIEGO STUFF.) The CADI has a Horace W. Turner, died at county code 37 (San Diego Co.???), March 21, 1979, Registrar Number 3035, State File Number 33550, SSN 572-12-2974. OK. PROBLEM!!! Greg's Horace's wife's name was Ethel Catherine Fisher. Horace W. Turner on the CADI has spouse's initials "LJ." I.e., **wrong wife.** But, suppose Ethel died or was divorced? Well, this is only guesswork, but the CADI has an Ethel Fisher (no spouse) d. 1980 in the county of L.A. and an Ethel C. Turner (no spouse) d. 1961, city of L.A. How's them apples for indistinguishable sauce? But, this is just some out-of-the-blue, out-on-a-limb guesswork, mind. By the way, the Standard Oil refinery at El Segundo was up and running late in 1911 (or so), and thus Mr. Turner being there in the 1920s is no prob. And, I might add, San Diego Co. has been regarded as a retirement haven by Lost Angelinos for at least a couple of decades, if not longer.

About five years ago, very many of the zip codes in Riverside county (92--- series) were relocated. If San Diego is served by the USPO regional facility in San Bernardino, it is possible that re-alignment extended into San Diego.
