Wow Glenn,

This is amazingly thorough and well researched.  Thank you so much!  I'll cross reference all this with what I have and see if I can find out any more.  If you like, I can send you a link to my Ancestry tree (there's a lot of guff that would be irrelevant to you, but who knows you might find it of interest, MelJade has access for example).

Regards,

Candy (Catpow)

Hi Mel (and Glenn),

Yes, I have been quiet and Mel, it's nice to see you're still around.  I agree the Wilkins of Tisbury seems to be wrong, but I don't know what's right ???.  But Glenn's information that Edward was a son of Richard and Jane makes some sense, given my G/Grandfather Richard Turner born 1845 was Henry James Browning's eldest (living) son.  I too would like any info that Glenn might be able to provide on the Turners.

Cheers,
Candy (catpow)

Jeanette,  I'll look for more concrete proof i.e. the exact link point for the Polkinghornes and Hicks.  I've never done a DNA test (and I don't really know how they work) but I think it would go into meltdown if you and I did a match 8).

Do you have a family tree on Ancestry?

Jeanette, I'm sure it would be of interest, particularly if you know anything about Charles' early life.  Incidentally, I'm also probably related to you in a couple of other ways :).  Henry James Browning Turner (a name on his gravestone, although he never used anything but plain Henry all his life, including his will), is my GGgrandfather through his eldest son Richard on my father's side.  But on my mother's side I am descended from Polkinghornes from Cornwall like Charles' wife.  Also, Henry's second wife Elizabeth Edwards, my (and MelJade's ancestor) was also from the same area of Cornwall, and her mother was an Ann Hicks, also from the Redruth area of Cornwall as was Charles' wife's mother Mary Hicks.  All a bit coincidental :D.

Jennamar, I am a descendant of Henry aka Henry James Browning Turner.  The Turners arrived in two waves.  Brothers John Browning, Henry and William all arrived on the Eden in 1838 and promptly all married girls they had met on the voyage.  They were all witnesses at each others weddings.  In March 1839, widower Edward, Charles' father arrived with his children Edward, Mary Ann, Jane and Charles on the 'Buckingham'.  It's pretty safe to assume that both sets of Turners were from the same family.  Mary Ann m William Gandy - the signatory of Charles' marriage.  When Jane was m in 1839, John Turner and Amelia Goble (wife of William) were the witnesses.  When Henry remarried as a widower in 1845, witnesses were Charles and Jane Atkins (John's wife) etc, etc.  What's confusing is the Chichester and Hampshire origins.  They certainly sailed from Portsmouth nr Chichester, and were living there at the time.  Mary Ann's DC says she was b in Lower Wallop Hampshire, other family members have birth locations as variations on Chichester.  Given that Charles' son Isaac did not know his  grandparents names indicates that family history was not strong in the family.  Sister Mary Ann's third husband, Robert McBride stated her parents were Edward and Elizabeth and this matches baptism records in Hampshire.  It's all a bit confusing 8).  I'd like to acknowledge they I could not answered this authoritatively with the help of MelJade who has also done an enormous amount of work around this family.  Feel free to email me if you wish to know more or have access to my Ancestry family tree which is private as it's a work in progress. ::)  Hope this helps,

Candy

Hi Heather,

Thanks for your reply!  Um, it was my first post too, so I'm not sure how we can communicate 'off forum' either without a public disclosure which is also probably against the rules anyway.  Looks like Nether Wallop (you couldn't make it up, Monty Python couldn't have done better) is on Find My Past, which I don't have a subscription too.  Not sure how successful this post will be, but it's great to find this or any information about the Turners.  :D Enjoy your break...

Hi Heather,

Just found this post - I think we're distantly related!  Henry James Browning Turner (John's brother) is MY great, great Grandfather.  His eldest son Richard, b 1845, his son Henry Darling Turner b 1875, then my father.

There's no-one I can ask who's living who might know where the Turners were from, but I'm intrigued to find out how you came by this information/conclusion.  You would not be so happy to have found this out if there was any doubt in your mind.  :) Can you tell me more?

Thanks,

Candy
