On 14 July 1840 Joshua Turton married Ann Sanders at the Providence Chapel of the Independent Dissenters, Uxbridge. Joshua may have been one of the Turtons from Chilbolton Hampshire and Ann's origins are unknown.
The couple had five known children and one of whom Selina married William Hudson, the son of Richard in the parish Church, Uxbridge on 29 Oct 1860 at the Parish Church Uxbridge.
This couple, together with their children migrated to Australia arriving on, 10 July 1874 on board "Derbyshire" into Brisbane.The ship left London on 3 April 1874. On the passenger list of Free Passangers are William Hudson 33, Selina 30, William 13, Mary Ann 11, Julia 9, Walter 4, and babies Annie 3 and Thomas 2. As well, on board the Derbyshire were George Hudson 24, and his wife Elizabeth 27, with Edward 3 and baby Frank 1 who died on the voyage, and Joseph Hudson 26 , wife Alice 24 and children Caroline 5, George 1 [who died on voyage] and William 16. Whether these other families are related to William remains tobe seen.
The Hudsons, after the marriage of their daughter Mary Ann to William Rich, disappear.
With so many children, someone has to be linked to William and Selina. Where are you?
