Thread: Birth details help, Guildford Surrey 1856

Hi, By obtaining a copy of the birth certificate it should tell you the name of Williams parents..I found no birth for 1856 but I did find one for 1855 and another for 1857.



Births September quarter 1855


Turner William Guildford 2a46




Births September quarter of 1857...

Turner William Maurice Guildford 2a44



You also don,t state where William was married and to whom and in what year? If he migrated to Australia in 1870 as a teenager no doubt he married in Australia..Do you have a copy of his Marriage Certificate? If not and you have the brides name maybe we can help with that by giving you a ref number and a year and a place for ordering..By obtaining a copy of the Marriage Cert it will tell you the names of both Fathers and their professions..

Australian Death Certificates are very informative and list names of siblings...If you have a copy of the Death Cert perhaps you can tell us Williams siblings names?


I also searched for a marriage for Jane Colman for the area of Guildford from December quarter 1837 through to 1860 and found no marriages...
I did come across a marriage for 1851 June quarter for the area of Guildford in Surrey for Jane Coleman but no spouse mentioned with the surname for Turner.. One of these two married this Jane Coleman...GYATT James

Strudwick William

There are however a number of Pullen marriages and births for the area of Guildford...I wonder if this marriage could be a connection?

HI There,The Death Certificate will tell you any siblings names for William if known..Sometimes a sibling might have an unusual first name which makes the searching easier...Never assume a name is incorrect on a certificate..Rhoda could very well have been her name but liked the name Jane better...Who is the Father listed on the cert for 1855?

Another thought that crossed my mind in regards to his Mothers surname Colman and that is maybe it could have been Pullen? Perhaps Williams daughter was not sure of his Mothers maiden name and said it was Colman? If William was born out of wedlock then he may have decided to keep his Mothers name and use as his own...We are just trying to help you here Hritchie so the more information you can share with us the better.

Hello hritchie

I obtained the 1855 certfifcate - it listed a Rhoda as the mother so I'm assuming it is incorrect

Good find Elsabels.. Now if hritchie can confirm from the Australian Death Cert for William any of the siblings names above we could have a match...I noted the Turners for Chertsey yesterday but wanted more info first...Lets hope hritchie has a copy of Williams Death Cert...If not better to order one.
