TURNER, William B.1806 Snowshill, Gloucestershire

[clairejo]

Looking for any family of William Turner, b 1806 in Snowshill.  William enlisted in the 17th foot Leicester Regment in 1824 and served in Afghanistan (Battle of Ghuznee).  He married Mary Hogan in Aden (now Yeman) in 1844 and then came to New Zealand in 1849 as a member of the Royal New Zealand Fencibles.  A long shot, but wondered if he had brothers/sisters.  Ony information I have on his parents are their names, Robert and Jane Turner.  Thanks!

I cant find any of them on the 1851 Census and as there were lots of Children born post 1841 Census is it possible they immigrated also?

Hi,
Source: Glos Archives (GA) - PMF 299, St Barnabas, Snowshill, Baptisms
I can confirm that trish1120 post giving the baptism dates for William, Robert & Frances is correct.
I can also add that the recorded parents on the PR are Robert & Jane TURNER.
Source: Gloucestershire Family History Society (GFHS)
Robert TURNER, Widower, married Jane STANFIELD, Spinster at Broadway, Worcs, 16th October 1805. Witnesses: John HORNE & John TUSTIN.
Snowshill is VERY close to Broadway, so I think you can assume that this is the marriage you are looking for.
