Back at reply #14 we had the following;
...
Had a look on the first disk, Colchester Extra Mural parish registers and ther is only one name like Turketine and it is for a boy as follows;
George TURKENTINE -- Father Edward -- Mother Rachel -- living Lexden --occupation Blacksmith --baptised September 13th 1829 -- born July 22nd -- parish Lexden page 65. ...
Mary Ann seems to be a sister of the above George.
1851HO107/1782/456/8
Stanway, Essex
TURKENTINE
Edward 58 Head Blacksmith b Suffolk Waldingfield
Rachel 60 wife b Suffolk Waldingfield
Mary Ann 30 daughter unmarried Servant b Suffolk Waldingfield
and a Visitor
1861RG9/1103/47/3
Birch, Essex
PARTNER
William 48 Head, Grocer and Dealer b Essex Birch
Mary Ann 42 Wife, Grocer's Wife b Suffolk Gt Waldingfield
The possible birth of Edward TURKENTINE is in the IGI - 1792, Great Waldingfield, son of another Edward & Elizabeth COOPER.
In 1841, Edward & Rachel seem to be in Stanway, Essex
HO107/334/24/14
GRAPENTINE (that's how it's transcribed)
Edward 45? (transcribed as 65) Blacksmith
Rachel 45
Edward 20
George 11
all listed as born in the county!
And next door are
GRAPENTINE
William 40 Blacksmith
Charlott 35
Lucy(?) 25
Ann (transcribed as John) 4
all listed as born in the county.
Anyway, it looks as though Edward & Rachel moved from Great Waldingfield, Suffolk to Essex - which points to a link between the Suffolk TURKENTINEs and the Essex TURKENTINEs. Looking at Edward jnr's birth year, and Mary Ann's birth year in various censuses, it looks as though Edward snr & Rachel moved from Suffolk to Essex some time between the birth of Mary Ann ca 1819 in Suffolk and the birth of George in 1829 in Essex.
This thread started with a question about Louisa A TURKENTINE b 1862
She has been found in the 1871 census (transcribed as TURKEWTINE) with her father George b ca 1830 in Lexden.
George seems likely to be the George quoted at the start of this post.
And this suggests that Mary Ann is Louisa's Aunt.
And that Edward & Rachel are Louisa's Grandparents.
