General Notes:

The disparity here is between William's occupation as "Farmer" on daughter Dinah's death certificate and the 1841 census and WT's death cert. showing him as Grocer and Shopkeeper/Shoemaker. He was already 70 in 1841 so it is possible he was a farmer earlier. Also the informant on DT's death cert was John Clarke who may not have known

Chronology:

He worked as a Grocer & Bootmaker in 1834 and resided at Denby, Yorkshire. ⁵

He worked as a Grocer in 1841 and resided at Low Denby, West Yorkshire. ⁶

In 1847 at the time of his death he was described as a Shoemaker and Shopkeeper of Denby, Yorkshire. George Turton of Denby, probably his son was "present at the death". ⁴

His daughter Dinah's death certificate described her father as being a Farmer. ⁷ ⁸

He had an estate probated (Turton, William of Low Denby P. Penistone T. 100.) in Jan 1848 in Archbishop of York: Exchequer Court & Prerogative (PCY) Court. ⁹
