Turkish Binns

James Binns, (born Leeds, 1817), and his wife Ann Longbottom, raised a family in Turkey. His great grandson Victor Middleton Binns collected much information about his relations, including connections in South Africa. Although the copy I have of Victor's documents is barely legible in places, I have attempted to add the pertinent data and details to the web site.
Any comments, corrections, or additions will be welcome.
Don't forget that most of the interesting information about individuals is revealed when you click on "notes"

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of Mark McDermott many photographs and memorabilia of the Binns family that dates back to 1757 in Hipperholme have been added to the archive. In particular they relate to the descendants of Lewis Binns and his wife Gertrude Womersley
