William Turners  and Elezaqbeth Pringle's marriage notice (14th April 1786) from the Old Parish Register at Bunkle and Preston.

The hotel, owned by the Grants

The Toll House

This photo is the entire "Turner's Block", with the Toll House the first one (with the porch).  As you see it consisted of several houses

Their grave is at Coldingham Priory.  The photo was passed down from George Turner.  I assume he took it during his circa 1924 trip "home".

These photos were taken in October 2004. As you can see the stone has fallen from it's base but has been set upright so it can still be read.  It is in good condition despite this.

Bruce Turner has kindly lent  this photo. He has the original.

Bruce thinks it might be William Turner. However, it could be one of his sons, William or George? Then again, it could be the husband of one of his daughters.

Can  help with identifying them ? Email Bruce at Turnersofberwickshire@yahoogroups.com

This photo is also one of Bruce's.  He says:

This post card was sent to Mary Schaffery, apparently by a rival suitor for James Turner.

A dramatic declaration !  "I would sooner die than give him up....."
