Hi everyone, I'm new to the list and I'm interested in the Turney family from Husborne Crawley esp. Ann Turney who married John Brown on 29 March 1787 in Husborne Crawley. I was wondering if anyone else was researching this family? I believe the parish registers go back to the 1500s. Would be great to hear from someone with a link. Many thanks and best wishes, Sarah.

Sarah, Here are the IGI batches for Husborne Crawley from the Hugh Wallis site. Just Google "Hugh Wallis" Husborne Crawley C035651 1558-1812 E035651 C035653 1813-1868 1813-1875 M035651 1558-1709 C035654 1813-1875 M035652 1710-1812 M035653 1813-1838 1813-1885 M035654 1813-1885 There are a number of Turney BDM events. You could try sorting them into eras and families. Unfortunately, there's no obvious Ann around 1770. Perhaps she wasn't baptised, or baptised in an adjoining parish . The only likely Turney marriage for that timeframe is in 1754 between George Turney & Judith Cook, but all their children were christened at Ridgmont and there is no Ann. There is an Ann christened 1753 at Ridgmont, but that would make her 34 when married Perhaps somebody who has access to Husborne Crawley PR's could look at her 1787 marriage and see if there is any extra data or clues.

The only additional detail in the transcript is that both were otp. You'd need to check the microfilm to get the witnesses. There are two burials of Ann Turney in Ridgmont - 10 Aug 1753, a few days after the baptism (although the extracted entry doesn't give a date in August, it's just the member submissions that give a date of the 6th), and 9 Dec 1757. Again you'd need to check the register to see if either of these was named as the daughter of Joseph & Mary, which would then eliminate her from being the Mary who married John Brown in 1787. There's a burial of Ann Brown aged 47 on 15 Oct 1814 at Husborne Crawley which might be her David There's an Ann Brown On Thu, Jun 17, 2010 at 5:47 AM, Peter Booth <pbo08596@bigpond.net.au>wrote: > Sarah, > > Here are the IGI batches for Husborne Crawley from the Hugh Wallis site. > Just Google "Hugh Wallis" > > Husborne Crawley > C035651 1558-1812 E035651 > C035653 1813-1868 > 1813-1875 M035651 1558-1709 > C035654 1813-1875 M035652 1710-1812 > M035653 1813-1838 > 1813-1885 > M035654 1813-1885 > > > There are a number of Turney BDM events.
