Turner and Dinnett Printers and Lithographers

By Erika |

Good evening all

Just wondered if anyone knew anything about Turner and Dinnett Printers and Lithographers?

I googled them without success after finding their name on a 1921 image  ( yes I did succumb in the end, but only because I'm desperate to find something on my elusive Campbells !!!!) One of the orphaned Campbells was living with his uncle in Kirkdale and on the return his employer was Turner and Dinnett their address was 10 Moor Street, but that didn't help either. 

I also would like some help with Admission Records etc for the Boys and Girls Orphan Asylum in Myrtle Street. Looks like 4 of my Campbells ended up there when their parents died in 1917. Think they are held in the Liverpool Archives, but I'm afraid I live too far away to visit.

Thank you in advance for any help

Cheers Erika

 

Erika,

Turner and Dunnett, a few snippets in the newspapers, google and Liverpool records office hold some info, not sure exactly what.

Thank you Bert, name spelt wrong!!
 

Looks like there’s quite a few articles about the company and Turner’s 2 sons. They seem to be a well established company, so hopefully my Campbell did well there. It’s just interesting trying to find out more about people’s lives and with a bit of luck I can try to follow his life forward.

Many thanks again Bert

Have a good weekend 

Cheers Erika

 

I'm afraid I live too far away to visit.

Unfortunately many of us aren't making regular visits to the library at present, I think your first point of call is to email https://liverpool.gov.uk/libraries/archives-family-history/family-histo… and ask them if they do indeed hold records of  the Boys and Girls Orphan Asylum in Myrtle Street and if so what dates, and do they cover the time involved.  This is not intended to be a push off, but more a request to gain specific detail as then perhaps the records could be booked for a time when I, or somebody, might be able to visit.

Thank you Mary, I will do that and see if I can get anymore information.

If I get anything concrete I will post on here again, but don’t want to put unnecessary pressure on anybody. Thank you again for your input and interest.

Cheers Erika
