Mike Clarke, President of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal Society, records in a document on canal maintenance: "Daniel Forshaw Turner, started as half-timer at Tom Wilkinson's Apperley Bridge boatyard in March 1911. Taken on as apprentice, then firm closed. Joined Ramsey's boatyard at Shipley in Feb 1913 but found it too far to travel, so joined ther Company in June 1913 at Apperley Bridge, where his father was foreman. He worked there for 49 years. He became chargehand in 1928, then foreman for Leeds-Kildwick in place of his father in 1932, and then District Foreman for Leeds-Barnoldswick, ending up as engineer (inspector?) after nationalisation, taking over from F W Bateman. His great-grandfather was the 2nd lock-keeper on the Rufford line. His grandfather started work in 1867 and worked with Dan's father on construction of Winterburn reservoir."
