If Margaret is the Margaret Brewer who died Oct-Dec 1981 Surrey NW, then the death index gives her DOB as 20 Dec 1908 (the death index page on FMP is clearer than on ancestry.) But I couldn't find a matching birth.

Anyway, the 1939 Register is supposed to go online by the end of this year, so hopefully they will be on that and it will give you more info.

I wonder if he could be going by a middle name? There is an Ancestry record for a Mr Lacey F Turner and Mrs Celia Turner arriving in Freemantle, Australia, on 13 June 1963.

Lacey Frederick Turner appears on a number of Australian Electoral Rolls - all Victoria. In 1968, he was in Geelong West. Then in 1972, he was in Geelong North. I found him in 1977 in Ballan and then in Ballarat East in 1980. He was a shopkeeper. I had a look at 1972 and Celia is also listed. Middle name Marie. http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/12...nSearchResults

That sounds extremely hopeful, Shona.. I don't have a world sub, so can't search the Australian records.

.......and the UK outward passenger lists only go up to 1960!

Frederick Lacey Turner seems to have died in Victoria in 1987.

His father's name was recorded as Albert Turner and his mother Kate surname unknown (I haven't examined whether they had middle names recorded).

I couldn't find a death for Celia Marie.

The above info hasn't helped me to find Fred in 1911. I suppose he could have been born just after the census, but having looked at the possibilities I still got nowhere!

Thanks girls, you are working wonders here! I almost knew he had emigrated to Oz, but I didn't have his parents' names. xx

The informant might be wrong about those names! I did notice his wife's details are not on his death entry. Maybe they were divorced?
