Notes

He was the brother of Edward (and Albert?) Turner. Edward lived at Cleveleys ?, and married Edith ....? (or maybe Amy?) (all data from the family)

At 1939 Register there is a "Maud COLES" at the same address, aged 62, occ "Housekeeper". Perhaps she is Muriel's (his daughter in law) mother. Also there is his sister in law Hannah Amelia
