Rachel & Julie I have his marriage certificate which says he was 46 in 1931, and his father is richard they were married in blackburn, now im no good at maths either but i think that would have made him being born in 1885, so he would have been 6 in 1891, but you know what the census is like ther could be mistakes on it so he may have been 5 or maybe 7 ?

Sorry Christine,maths was never my strongest subject! I have looked at the images of James Turners aged 6 living in Lancs but none have fathers named Richard. Do you have a DOB or could he still have been 5?
