Sussex / Re: TURNER, John (Browning)
« on: Tuesday 24 June 14 07:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi Candy,
I am away now and back on the 8th July. I have many sources including Parish records. You can see the Parish records in the Nether Wallop, Hampshire on line. I know I went through a particular site to find them but I cannot remember which one. I can tell you more about this when I return home. Am I able to e mail you directly? I am a bit of an novice with this site and have not got the courage to give you my direct e mail (which I am happy to do) as I am not sure how to do that without everyone seeing it! If you have any questions feel free to list them. Basically the browning Turners came out on Two boats and can be connected. The Biographical index of South Australia has an introduction on many of the children and their families but there are a few small mistakes such as John Browning TURNER being born in Fishborne. He probably resided there! Hope this helps Heather

Hi Rebecca, John Browning Turner is my great great Grandfather. I am descended from Kendrick Browning Turner. I have found the the birth of John Browning and brothers & sister after many years of searching. It was never Fishbourne! This is probably where he lived later and even worked. Check out the baptism registers for the Nether Wallops, Hampshire. ( I have been there, it is a beautiful place.) It is good if you look at the source yourself and the Hampshire records are online. There are Brownings in the Parish records but I have found no connection. I understand that a farm named Browning is a strong possibility as I know someone else who was following this lead. Parents of the Browning Turner children are Edward and Elizabeth nee Wilkins. Edward was a farmer!
Elizabeth WILKINS m Edward TURNER 17TH September 1811. Elizabeth was from Tisbury Wiltshire. In 1829 Elizabeth TURNER died in Tilsbury. They lived in Hampshire for about 11 years. Edward birth place is still unknown but I am of the understanding that he may have been born in 1789 and had a father or brother named Richard.
I have a good source that suggests Edward also came to South Australia a year after the boys, on the ship the Buckinghamshire with his daughter MaryAnn."Buckinghamshire" Departed London Dec 11th 1838 & arrived Adelaide on 21st March 1839.
The following Turners were on board:
Edward Turner  Snr, 49, widower, farmer.
Edward       Jnr, 25, butcher, son of Edward snr.
Mary A.       21, dressmaker, daughter of Edward snr.
Jane            20, housemaid,          "      "        "
Thomas      19, labourer, son of Edward snr.
Charles      17, labourer,         " "
Noah          15, labourer             " " 
Other Turners were recorded on this ship and have him as their father but at least Noah at this stage, is confirmed NOT to be. I think he just got tagged with Edward by mistake. Charles is doubtful too.  More on Mary Ann. After the death of her Husband, William Gandy in 1862  in Victoria she married Robert McBride in 1863. Mary Ann McBride died in 1869 in Victoria, aged 50. Her father was Edward Turner and mother Elizabeth unknown and she was born in "Hamp". I think this may confirm that she is the sister of John Browning Turner.
Please let me know if you are interested in any of this info. I am happy to swap notes.
How are you related?
