  TURNER, c.1685-aft.1830 Related Families: Love | Sandford | Stoodley

Migration: Dorset, ENG

 

        (1)  N. N. Turner, may be a son of, or perhaps even the William Turner of Hawkchurch who is recorded in the marriage register at Whitchurch Canonicorum as wedding Eleanor Biddle on 10 August 1708; this conclusion is based on the repetition of the name Eleanor amongst the families of his two sons (note that the names (Dorothy, Robert, William and George are also repeated):
 

  1. Henry; married 26 December 1748 in Hawkchurch, Dorset, England, Mary Leaves.  Parents of:
    1. Mary, baptized 21 January 1749 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
    2. Eleanor, baptized 29 March 1752 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
    3. Henry, baptized 13 October 1754 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
    4. Dorothy, baptized 12 December 1756 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
    5. Agnes, baptized 1 April 1759 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
    6. Agnes, baptized 14 September 1760 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
    7. John, baptized 8 December 1762 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
    8. Robert, baptized 18 December 1763 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
    9. George, baptized 20 July 1766 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
  2. William, mentioned below
  3. Robert (probable, but unconfirmed brother of Henry & Robert); married 1 August 1748 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England Sarah Raymond.

 

        (2)  William Turner, probably born about 1715-1725, was living in Hawkchurch in 1747; married 8 December 1747 at Whitchurch Canonicorum, Dorothy Love. The marriage register at Whitchurch indicates that the marriage of a William Turner and Agness Love occurred on 24 December 1747, less than three weeks after the marriage of William and Dorothy; it is reasonable to conclude from this that perhaps Dorothy died soon after their wedding and that William married her sister Agness (marrying a former spouse's sibling was a common practice), but Hawkchurch records clearly name Dorothy as the mother of William's children born in subsequent years, discounting such a conclusion. Other Love family marriages during the same time period at Whitchurch include that of Elizabeth Love of Hawkchurch to James Bradford of Marshwood on 22 September 1741, John Love of Hawkchurch to Elizabeth Bartlett on 9 June 1748, and Martha Love to John Genge on 7 February 1755. The parentage of Dorothy, and her relation (if any) to Agness and these other Loves is not yet known.

Children:

  1. William, baptized 18 September 1748 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
  2. Grace, baptized 7 May 1750 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
  3. Robert, mentioned below
  4. James, baptized 22 September 1754 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
  5. Mary, baptized 23 October 1757 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
  6. George, baptized 23 March 1760 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
  7. Dorothy, baptized 16 January 1763 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
  8. John, baptized 5 May 1765 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
  9. Eleanor, baptized 19 August 1770 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.

 

        (3)  Robert Turner, baptized 17 May 1752 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England; married 3 January 1772 at Hawkchurch, Hester Sandford of Hawkchurch, Dorset, England. Their marriage record indicates that Robert was a "twine spinner."
        Two records for marriages to a Robert Turner labeled "widower" can also be found in the Hawkchurch parish registers, one to Betty Honibone on 11 August 1793, and the second to Ann Quick on 5 December 1803; further research is needed to determine whether either of these pertain to Robert, husband of Hester Sanford.

Children:

  1. Robert, baptized 14 November 1773 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
  2. Esther, born about 1774, baptized 28 February 1779 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England; married 13 October 1799 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England, William Stoodley, baptized 25 July 1773 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England.
  3. Elizabeth, baptized 28 February 1779 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England; married 30 November 1802 at Hawkchurch, William Newberry.
  4. Grace, baptized 28 February 1779 at Hawkchurch, Dorset, England; married 12 August 1790 at Hawkchurch James Loveridge.
