EIGHTH GENERATION
144. Thomas TURNOY, born early 1700's. Most likely burial - 24 Mar 1778 in Husborne Crawley, Bedfordshire.
There are many family trees including Thomas in the LDS pedigrees and on the
internet. They seem
to have been built on an erroneous birth/baptism in the IGI,
that is - Thomas Turney, bapt 8 Jan 1714/5 at Husborne Crawley,
son of George. The Husborne Crawley Parish Register does not support
this IGI entry. In fact it is not really a birth/baptism at all,
but the burial of an unbaptized child.
The following entry is from the Husborne Crawley Parish Register Burials pages
:-
(Burial) Thomas son of George Turney unbaptiz'd - Jan : 8th
There is no
baptism in the Register for Thomas 1714/5, only the above burial on the
Burials page, with the notation - 'unbaptized'. He obviously died soon after
birth. The IGI entries (there are two) are both submissions by LDS members, and
are not as a result of LDS extractions of the Husborne Crawley Register,
which have been done for this period.
The burial of the mother Mary is also
recorded on the 21 Jan, 13 days after the child Thomas' burial, almost
certainly from the effects of the birth.

There is no further marriage for George, or a likely baptism for
Thomas. However it is possible that George re-married. A George
Turney of Husborne Crawley left a will in 1754 (see transcript).
This George names a son Thomas, among a number of other children. None
seem to be recorded on the IGI, which is pretty complete for
Bedfordshire. Nor is there a marriage for this George to a wife
Sarah as per the will. Possibilities are that George was a
non-conformist in this period, or elsewhere in a location that is
not on the IGI.
Hence there is a good chance that Thomas is the son of this George
& Sarah. However at this stage it can only be speculation.
Thomas Turney was
married to Sarah BOUGHTON on 14 Sep 1741 in Bedford St. Paul, Bedfordshire.
The entry in the Parish Register of Bedford St. Paul
notes that Thomas was a batchelor of Ridgemont and that Sarah was a
spinster from Ampthill. The marriage was by Licence. Unfortunately the
Bedforsdshire Marriage Licences between 1618 & 1747 are missing.
