Dear All, I'm looking for someone who could kindly carry out a look-up of 2 baptism records that I found (via Ancestry24.com). I would like to know if the mother's name is noted and any other useful information (exact birth dates, places, occupations etc). Cecil Bertie Wallis TURNER (assuming between 1887 and 1891) Dulcie Augusta Eugenia TURNER (born abt 1889) Father is noted as: Joseph Ward TURNER Mother should be: Annie TURNER (nee GIBBS) born 1869 Battersea, Surrey, England Joseph and Annie married in Q3 1887 in Battersea, Surrey, England. Annie and her daughter Dulcie can be found in Battersea again in 1891 census living with Annie's parents. There is no trace of Joseph or Cecil. I was not even aware of Cecil until I happened to google Joseph's name and the links to these baptism records cropped up. Annie went on to marry an Alfred BROOKS in 1892 in London, England. She married under her maiden name of GIBBS which leads me to believe that Joseph may not have returned to the UK. I wonder if there are any marriages for a Joseph Ward TURNER in South Africa or perhaps a death? Is there also any trace of Cecil Bertie Wallis TURNER in South Africa? I also wonder if there is a recording of Joseph and Annie's arrival in South Africa (between 1887 and 1891) and was it the diamond rush that took them there? Thanks to anyone who could help me out. I would be willing to repay with any UK look-ups that may be required. Best regards, Rebecca

I haven't found a baptism record for either child, but there is a marriage for Dulcie, to Henry Saunders, 5th January 1919, at St Helen's Church, North Kensington, father Joseph Turner, actor. The image of the original register entry is available on Ancestry.
