Ernest Harper (born 1875 Burslem, Sheffield) married Florence Birkinshaw (born 1877 Burslem) I don't have anything more for Ernest Harper's Dad apart from his name was Robert Harper and he was born in 1852 and died in 1893. I do know he married Martha Turner. But that is where it stops. Some help to get further information on any of the above would be appreciated. I am Ernest Harpers Great Great Grandaughter.

I can find no birth for an Ernest Harper 1873 - 1877 with mother's maiden name Turner.

Marriages Mar Qtr 1873
HARPER Robert - Wortley 9c 233
TURNER Martha - Wortley 9c 233

EDIT: See post #8.

HARPER, ERNEST - WRIGHT
GRO Reference: 1875 J Quarter in WORTLEY Volume 09C Page 270

If Bedford is correct in the census then there are at least two to sort out.

HARPER, ROBERT - HULL
GRO Reference: 1851 S Quarter in BEDFORD Volume 06 Page 24
HARPER, ROBERT - BAINES
GRO Reference: 1851 D Quarter in BEDFORD Volume 06 Page 27

Not all births were registered and not all are on GRO so may be more than those two to check.

Thank you again, I will also look into this, there isn't anyone else in my family who is doing the family tree or knows anything of this, so I am doing a lot of searching. Thanks again.
