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 Victors documents is barely legible in places, I have attempted to add the pertinent data and details to the web site.
