Australia / Re: seeking TURNER family, Tasmania
« on: Tuesday 27 February 24 11:27 GMT (UK) »
Hi. I can help with Raymond Henry Turner. He was the son of Henry Turner and Ellen (nee Shackloth). He was a business man from Nile and she was a housemaid from Brickendon, Longford.
His parents, Thomas and wife Mary Ann (nee Manning), arrived aboard the Whirlwind at Launceston, Tasmania in 1855 from Mildenhall, Suffolk. Thomas bought or was granted land at Lymington North called Camperdown which was passed down to Henry. I believe that they also owned a property in Nile called Lymington House.
In answer to didielicious' question. I have heard stories of the daughters attending balls at Clarendon and hobnobbing with the landed gentry in the area. I'm not sure if they were well-to-do however I believe that they thought they were!
