I am trying to find the birth record for an ancestor GEORGE TURNER. His tombstone which is in St. Michaels church yard East Ardsley states that he was from OUTWOOD WAKEFIELD. He was born 1791/2 in that area but I cannot find his birth record either in All Saints Wakefield or St. Michaels East Ardsley. Could there be another church nearby which might have his records ? Other facts that I do know are that he married MARY DIBB at St. Johns Wakefield in Nov 1817. The marriage was witnessed by a CHARLES TURNER, who may be a brother or father. I know that there was a Charles in East Ardsley at that time but cannot find a link between the two men. Any help would be appreciated. Frank Turner from a very cold and windy Scotland

you could try Woodkirk parish records - that was and still is the church for the area that became known as West Ardsley Wendy -----Original Message----- From: Frank Turner via Sent: Monday, January 12, 2015 3:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [YORKSGEN] GEORGE TURNER I am trying to find the birth record for an ancestor GEORGE TURNER.
