Title: De Rinzy - Turbett
Post by: garthj on Thursday 16 October 14 23:30 BST (UK)
James Harward De Rinzy, originally of Wexford, married Elizabeth Turbett in St MacCartan's Cathedral, Clogher, County Tyrone in 1867. The couple went to India where they had two sons.
I would be most grateful for any information about these people and their families.

Many thanks for your useful tips, which I will follow up.
I do not have the marriage certificate. My father, who was interested in Turbotts, visited St MacCarten's many years ago, was shown the church records and made notes, but without recording the details. The name in the church register was spelled Turbett.

James Harward De Rinzy died in Fulham Infirmary in October 1903. There are reports of the inquest in several newspapers on 14 October 1903.

He had been a civil engineer in India and more recently a professor of languages living at 2 Ormiston Road, Shepherd's Bush. He died of heart disease accelerated by excessive use of alcohol, morphine, cocaine and other drugs. He'd been admitted to hospital suffering from cannabis poisoning.

See http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/68727291?searchTerm=harward%20de%20rinzy&searchLimits=sortby=dateDesc

There are also many mentions of him in Australian newspapers in the 1880's. He was the Indian government's agent in Australia (just search for the surname on Trove).

The Derenzy or De Renzy family of Clobemon, Co. Wexford are a famous "landed gentry" family. As such they are extensively documented back to the 1500s.
- e.g in the DNB http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Renzy,_Matthew_de_(DNB00)
- They are listed in the books on the landed gentry of Ireland, e.g.
https://books.google.com/books?id=BSkAAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA363&lpg=PA363&dq=de+Renzy+landed+gentry+of+ireland&source=bl&ots=Cz620GZcXs&sig=kmEiGN5rTlICgjjd8yT5ci0yuaM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=8ZsDVZOjDYGwggTDtoGgCA&ved=0CBoQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=de%20Renzy%20landed%20gentry%20of%20ireland&f=false
- There are also files on the family at the Genealogical Office in Dublin, available on microfilm at LDS Family History centers.

Hope this helps

Many thanks _ I will follow your suggestions.
No clues as to the early history of the Turbett/Turbitt/Turbott family I suppose?

I am afraid that if they are not from Wexford then they are quite foreign to me! Sorry.

I just want to note that the James Harward De Rinzy of your original query is specifically listed in the  family pedigree provided in the edition of Burke's Landed Gentry that I linked to.

With regard to De Rinzy. My great grandmother was Ann Darenzy (spelt variously) and she certainly was not landed gentry as far as I can tell. She was married to a Holohan in Dublin and ended up living in Carlow and that's about all we know. Perhaps, as with many landed gentry families, she is from the family branch that came upon bad times and ended up hanging lower on the tree?  ::)

Thank you for your reply.

Since I posted my questions I have found out a little bit more about the De Rinzys. James Harward De Rinzy, civil engineer, married Elizabeth Turbitt in the Clogher Cathedral, County Tyrone, 24 July 1867. It seems possible that the marriage was not welcomed by his family. At the time, he had been living at Ballinroan House, County Wicklow. His father was Matthew Thomas De Rinzy of Clobemon Hall, County Wicklow and his mother Jane Richards Jessop.

The married couple left shortly after for India. They had a son Harwood Jessop Edwards De Rinzy, born in Allahabad, Bengal. I am not sure how long they lived in India but they returned to England at some time. James died in London in 1903 and Elizabeth in Dorset in 1906.

This is all I know. I hope it may be of some use to you in sorting out your family tree.

Kind regards,

John Turbott

Thanks John Turbott. Do you mind me asking if you have done your DNA? I think my hunt for 'my' Darenzys has come down to the DNA wire now.  :-[

I have tested with both Ancestry and FamilyTree. I am happy to exchange information but I think we are supposed to correspond directly, not in a public forum.
I will figure out how this is done.

Regards,

John Turbott
