Can you help Janet Iszatt find more information about her great uncle Harry Forth
Bike advertisement is for J Turner Baker and Grocer, West Street Crowland.
Not sure of date but Harry was born in April 1905 so probably mid 1920’s.
Harry was the 4th son of Robert and Jane Forth. Photos believed to be those of Robert Forth and his wife Jane (nee Dunmore) also attached.
0n the 1911 census the family are living in W Stimson’s yard North Street Crowland.
On the 1901 census John Turner aged 30 is Baker and Grocer. ( Born 1871)
In 1911 he is married to Edith (nee Ulyatt) who is helping in the business. They have been married 9 years and have 2 daughters Agnes May and Dorothy.
John Turner is listed in Kelly’s Directory in 1926 and 1930 (aged 60) as a Baker West Street.
John died in March 1938 aged 67.
Does anyone have a photo of the Baker’s shop or any more information about my great uncle Harry Forth or indeed any of the Forth family?
