6 A Gregg family tree on Ancestry.co.uk lists a Turner Gregg born in 1848. The birth of a Turner Gregg was registered in the first quarter of 1848 in the Ulverston district (FreeBMD 25 205). The death of Turner Gregg was registered in the second quarter of 1848 in the Ulverstone district (FreeBMD 25 155). Without checking the birth certificate is not possible to confirm that this child was Isabella's illegitimate son, but it seems quite likely.
