Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Marriage Thomas Turner and Ann Hill 1719
« on: Monday 02 August 21 10:15 BST (UK)  »
Please could someone look up the marriage licence/bond for the marriage of Thomas Turner and Ann Hill at Worcester Cathedral on 25 Oct 1719.
Unfortunately I live too far from Worcester to make anything other than occasional trips to the Hive.

Thanks

Thanks. Yes. Thats where I had the dates I listed from. It doesn't help with earlier generations, at least not that I can see.

Shropshire / Sarah Greene born 1720 Burford, Shropshire
« on: Wednesday 31 March 21 14:51 BST (UK)  »
Sarah married Richard Turner at Burford church 7 May 1742.
Having spent some time on a fruitless earch for her husband's ancestry ( a visit to Worcester archives is required) I thought I would turn to Sarah Green baptised Burford, Shropshire in 1720.

I believe her parents were George Greene (?- Mar 1768) and Sarah(?-Dec 1723).
With children:
Mary Greene 22 Jul 1713 Burford
Hannah Greene 26 Jun 1717 Burford
Sarah 10 Oct 1720 Burford buried Dec 1800 Broseley
George Pooton Greene 17 Dec 1723 Burford, Buried Mar 1768 Ludlow

George maried Martha Jones Sep 1744 in Ludlow and had a child James Greene bapt  23 Feb 1745 Ludlow.

According to a genealogy published in Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldics in the early 1800s (which is known to have errors)
'Sarah Greene, only sister of James Greene Barrister at Law of Burford near Tenbury, Co. Worcs; related to the Cornwall and Newdigate families and descended from the Barons of Burford. Her brother died without issue'
Spot the errors ! James son of George Pooton Greene was indeeed a lawyer, as was his father.
Can anyone help out with her links to the Barons of Burford, the Cornwall and/or Newdigate families? Or even any further ancestry at all!

Any help greatfully received. Thanks.

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Turner Worcester city parishes 1720-1745
« on: Monday 15 March 21 13:44 GMT (UK)  »
If anyone has access to transcripts I would appreciate lookups of the following please.
Which Worcester Parish, parents names and any additional info. given would be nice.

IGI does not indicate which parish just a generic 'Worcester'

Sarah (1745) is on IGI as 'Worcester, Stafford, England', clearly wrong. They have allocated it to St Andrews, Ombersley. I wonder if it could be St Andrews, Worcester as her father runs a school in St Andrews, Worcester a few years later.
Also the 'Robert' - could this be a transcription error for Richard- maybe I will have to wait to visit The Hive to check this.

Sarah Turner 18/6/1745 (of Richard and Sarah)
Elizabeth Turner 27/11/1720 (rest of Thomas and Mary)
Robert Turner 22/5/1723
Sarah Turner 12/6/1723
John Turner 28/12/1724

Thanks

Thanks for those.
I have not sen the long obit - just a short one liner in The Times. The marriage is Richard Jnr, if that wasn't already obvious.

Surrey / Loughborough House School, Brixton 1750-1815
« on: Sunday 07 March 21 14:29 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone know of, or have acces to, any books or reecords relating to Loughborough House School? Is it perhaps mentioned in any Surrey history books?
I am interested in what dates when the following gentelmen were teachers at the school.
Rev Richard Turner Snr 1720-1791
Rev Richard Turner Jnr 1752-1788
Rev William Hancock Roberts 1745-1814
I know about the books the Turners wrote and of their National Biography entires.
Richard Snr wrote books between 1761 and 1766 and two of thes say 'teacher at Worcester' but don't identify the shool. A later book in 1787, a course in mathematics and geometry may have been at Loughborough house.
Richard Jnr wrote books between 1778 and 1788 and these were aimed as school texts, at least one mentions Loughborough House School
I also know that shortly after Richard Snr died, in 1791, his wife Sarah wrote her will and gave her place of residence as Loughborough House.
I know that William Roberts was headmaster at Kings School, Worcester, until 1788 and that he was married to the Sarah, the daughter of Richard Snr so I suspect Roberts was at Loughborough when his mother in law Sarah wrote her will. 
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Heraldry Crests and Coats of Arms / Re: Turner coat of arms

Essex / Re: Turner of Bluntshall, Essex
« on: Tuesday 02 March 21 18:52 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for asking - all I can do is quote what Encyclopaedia of Heraldry, Burke, 1851 says:
"TURNER (Bluntshall, co. Essex). Ermines, on a cross quarter voided ar. four millrinds sa."
and what the award of arms to Rev Richard Turner says:
"his family have used for Arms Ermine on a Cross voided for Mill-rinds"
Thus, if Rev Richard Turner's application was genuine then this entry in Burke is the closesest description of the arms and Rev Richard must be related to Turner of Bluntshall.

Is it WItham? Its the only Blunts Hall I know of in Essex but could there be others?
