  • Notes 
    • Early Life
      Michael Turner was born on the 29th of September 1772 and baptised on the 26th of October that year at St John-at-Hampstead in London. His parents were John Turner and Eleanor Griffith. L_1946_Turner_Bryans1 speaks of the older ancestry of the Turners, with a link back to William the Conqueror and Duncan I of Scotland. I have not found these two connections, but they almost certainly exist; via the FitzWilliam ancestors it is possible to get back to Charlemagne.

      Family Life
      Michael married Mary Elizabeth Fülling, daughter of the naturalised Prussian immigrant Thomas Fülling (originally from Hanover), on the 27th of October 1795 at St George Hanover Square in London. Mary was only 18 at the time of marriage (and hence too young to marry without the permission of her father). Consequently, the marriage licence reads:
      Appeared personally Michael Turner Esquire, and made Oath that he is of the Parish of Saint Dunstan in the West, London, Bachelor aged twenty-one years and upwards and intendeth to intermarry with Mary Elizabeth Fülling of the parish of Saint George Hanover Square in the County of Middlesex, Spinster, and eighteen years and upwards & a minor by and with the consent of Mary Fülling of the same parish, widow, the natural and lawful mother of the said minor.

      Then appeared personally the said Mary Fülling, widow, and made oath that the said Mary Elizabeth Fülling the bride aforesaid hath not any father, ?? or any Testamentary or other guardian appointed to her and that she the aforesaid is her natural and lawful mother and is consenting to the above intended marriage.


      Michael and Mary had 17(!) children:

      1. John Fülling, born 1796, who married Jane Engleheart
      2. Mary, born 1797, who married Charles Maingy
      3. Michael, born 1799
      4. Charles, born 1800
      5. Skinner, born 1801
      6. William, born 1803
      7. Nathanial, born 1804
      8. Fanny, born 1806, who married William McPherson Rice
      9. Septimus, born 1808
      10. George Octavius, born 1809
      11. Alfred Brahm, born 1810
      12. James, born 1811
      13. Frank, born 1813, who married Mary Jane Gibbon
      14. Elinor, born 1814, who married James Ind Welldon
      15. Susan, born 1816
      16. Henry, born 1817
      17. Ferdinand, born 1818


      Death
      Michael died in February 1828, aged 55, and was buried on the 12th in Putney, London. His wife Mary survived him for twelve years, dying in 1840.

      This seems likely to the be the correct burial, because the location is Putney, but this is a relatively low confidence assumption.
