Bowling, Herald, Turner
Maggie Bowling
My great grandfather is Samuel Herald, from what I understand, he married a woman named Elizabeth Turner.
They had a daughter named, Polly Herald Bowling. Samuel Herald passed away in the late 1940's (maybe 1949).
Elizabeth Turner Herald passed away in 1928, my grandmother Polly Herald Bowling was born in 1927 and she passed away in 2002.
I was wondering if anyone might have any information about this side of the family.
I have one picture of Samuel Herald, I have no pictures of Elizabeth though.
But I would gladly send you pictures of Samuel Herald and his daughter Polly.
In about 1938 (give or take a few years) Samuel Herald got married a second time to a woman named Nanny Bell (don't know what her name was before she became a Herald.) But after Samuel passed away, she married again to a man named John Adams.
I hope this helps, and let me know if you find out anything.
