I’m currently researching my wife’s family tree and have come across a Frederick William Turtle who, in the 1901 census, is down as being a licensed victualler at the Eagle Inn on the Isle of Wight. It’s interesting to see that Fred (who passed away in 1910) left the pub to his wife Louisa, and it seems to have stayed in the family until I presume it closed. ***

The two pictures are Frederick Turtle and his wife Louisa, one with daughter Thurza. They lived at the Eagle Tavern when my grandfather Ron Traves met my grandmother their daughter Thurza they married in 1913. Thurza passed away on August 22nd 1937 aged 42 making the picture being taken in about 1895.The death notice in the local paper has Mrs E. Rolf (sister) I assume from the census that is Elsie Turtle and Mr L. Potts (step brother).
According to records it seems Louisa Turtle had been married twice before to Mr Potts and Mr Hibbs and her maiden name was Rodwell. *

The 1901 census should probably read :
Fredrick W. Turtle, Louisa Turtle (wife), Leonard Potts (son), Ada Potts (Daughter), Thurza Turtle (Daughter) and Elsie Turtle (daughter). *
