  • George Thurtell The History of the Thurtell Family done by Susan Persia Thurtell about1968 and the family tree done by Harriet Thurtell about 1900 show GeorgeThurtell died March 16, 1854, at 70. He was married three times. Hisfirst wife, Phoebe, died at age 30. He had one child with Phoebe. He and his second wife, Elizabeth Jenner, had three children. Elizabethdied October 17, 1846, at age 60. George and his third wife, Harriet,had no children. Information received in 1997 from Peter Murray shows that George Thurtellwas born in 1784 in Flixton and baptised January 17, 1785, inBlundeston. Three earlier brothers also named George died young,baptised August 7, 1775, and in 1777 in Blundeston, and in about 1780.This George Thurtell died March 16, 1854, aged 70. By the terms of hisfather's will, proved 1801, income from his father's property at HempnallNorfolk was to provide for his upkeep and education until he reached theage of 21, and afterwards to be sold and the proceeds of the sale to bedivided among the children of James and Winifred Thurtell or theirheirs. George Thurtell inherited his father's leased property in FlixtonParish, apparently jointly with his brothers. The 1841 and 1851 censusrecords show him as farmer of 400 acres in that parish, employing 14outdoor labourers in 1851. He lived at White House, Flixton, and was oneof the three chief constables of the Mutford and Lothingland hundred.Elsewhere he is stated to have been 'of Lodden Hall' (document in MickleCollection, Guelph), but this has not been confirmed (although the churchat Lodden apparently has Thurtell graves).

  • John Thurtell According to information received from Peter Murray in 1997, this JohnThurtell lived at 80 Crow Street, Norwich, and Trowse Newton and TrowseMilgate, all in Norfolk, England. He was a peruch maker (wig maker).He made his will March 11, 1772, signed by his own hand, and presumablydied before April 23 the same year when the will was examined and theexecutors sworn. His baptism is recorded in Trowse Newton September 19,1731 (Archdeacon's Transcript), son of John and Elizabeth Thurtell. Inhis will he disposed of property in Norwich St. John de Sepulchre, TrowseNewton, and Trowse Milgate, all in Norfolk. He is also mentioned in hisfather's will, 1767 and 1769 by which he was left a share of his father'sBoarstreet property in Norwich, and was to be compensated for property inHempnall Norfolk willed to his brother James. He may then have alreadybeen in possession of the property in Trowse Newton since disposal of itis not mentioned in his father's will.

  • John Thurtell The following information was received from Peter Murray in 1997. John Thurtell was a blacksmith residing in the parish of St. Julian inthe City of Norwich, Norfolk, England. He made his will on November 13,1729, identifying his wife and various children as beneficiaries, beingalready apparently gravely ill and he must have died very soonafterwards, being buried December 2, 1729, at Norwich St. Etheldreda(register). His will was examined December 8, 1729; and the statement ofthe witnesses to the will was taken at that time. He must be the JohnThurtle who married Alice Balls June 24, 1700, in Swannington, Norfolk(IGI entry). Alice, his widow in the parish of Norwich St. Julian, madeher will in 1734 and signed by the executrix and witnesses on September20, 1735. This was apparently just after she died since the burial ofAlice Thurtel was recorded September 17, 1735, at Norwich St. Etheldreda(register). Her will was for some reason examined again January 21, 1768. Conjectures as to possible parents of this John Thurtell are veryuncertain: there is record (from IGI entries) of a John Thirkettelbaptised March 22, 1680, at Norwich St. Peter Southgate (son of JohnThirkettel, probably by wife Mary); and a John Thirtle baptised May 6,1677, at Caister St. Edmund Norfolk (son of Robert Thirtle and Sarah).Caister St. Edmund is only a short distance south of Trowse Newton andLakenham, all of which are just south of Norwich. John and Alice Thurtell had eight children. ------- WILL OF JOHN THURTELL OF NORWICH ST JULIAN, BLACKSMITH 1729 Norwich Consistory Court, Norfolk. Note: This John Thurtell (m.

Wife: Alice, named the executrix, to whom he left all of his estate withthe exception of that designated to his children. His children (not stated if Alice was mother): Robert Thurtell, eldest son, to whom he left his best greatcoat, adouble-breasted coat, a fustian(?) waistcoat, and a pair of buckskinbreeches. John Thurtell, second son, to whom he left a blue cloth wrappingcoat. Henry Thurtell, to whom he left his best suit of wearing clothes andhis best buckskin breeches. James Thurtell, to whom he left one guinea of gold. Jeremiah Thurtell, youngest son, apparently underage in 1729, towhom he left one guinea of gold. Sarah (no indication she was married), to whom he left one guinea ofgold. Alice Thurtell (evidently unmarried), to whom he left one featherbed on which she usually slept and all the furnishings belonging to it,and the sum of five shillings. All of the above were living in 1729. Notes: - The following IGI entries may relate to this family: - John Thurtle married Alice Balls, 24 June 1700 at SwanningtonNorfolk. - Children of John Thurtle and Alice, christening dates: Robert Thirtle, 20 Feb 1701, at Norwich St Peter Southgate. Sara Theartill, 12 Feb 1703, at Norwich St Julian. James Thurtle, 10 March 1711, at Norwich St Julian. Susanna Thurtle, 15 Aug 1714, at Norwich St Julian. - John Thurtle, chr.20 Feb 1705, son of John Thurtle and Jane.[could 'Jane' here be an error for 'Alice'?] - Henry Thirtle married Anne Wright, 17 June 1734 at SmallburghNorfolk. - Henry Thurtle and Anne had at least 4 children christened atNorwich St Julian. [The will of Henry Thurtell of Norwich is dated1740-41.] - Alice Thurtle married Robt.Backamore, 16 Jul 1730 at Norwich StJulian. - The will of Alice Thurtle of Norwich is dated 1735. - The admon of Henry Thurtle, blacksmith of Norwich St Julian,included not only his wife Ann but also a John Thurtill of Trowse,barber, must almost certainly be the brother of this Henry. ----- It is quite possible that this John Thurtell is the son John born in 1677of Robert and Sarah Thirtle (so spelled) of Caistor St. Edmund withMarkshall, a few miles south of Norwich. His wife Alice was perhaps froma Swannington Norfolk family. The fact that he named his eldest sonRobert and his eldest daughter Sarah make this parentage very likely.

Robert Thurtell was apprenticed in 1717 by the gift of Sir Joseph Payne, deceased, to John Thurtle of Norwich, blacksmith (evidently his father), until he was 23 years of age (from published index of Norwich apprentices in Norfolk Records Soc. vol 29). The reference to Payne's gift (this was probably an apprenticing charity) appears where the father's name could otherwise be expected (info from Norfolk Record Office). Robert Thurtle, blacksmith, son of John Thurtle was admitted a freeman of Norwich August 2, 1727 (info from Norfolk Record Office). Robert Thurtell is mentioned in his father's will, in 1729, in which he was left his best greatcoat, a double breasted coat, afustian(?) waistcoat, and a pair of buckskin breeches. However he is not mentioned in his mother's will, 1735, being probably not then still alive. He must be the Robert Thurtle who was buried at St. Etheldreda, Norwich, Norfolk, England, on July 26, 1732 (parish register). Rob Thirtle married Mgt Read on September 14, 1720, at St. Helen, Norwich (IGI entry). She may be the Margaret Thurtle who was buried at St.Etheldreda, Norwich, on June 4, 1732, and since her husband apparently died the same year, one wonders who then raised their young children? They appear to have had three children who appear in the records.

  • Henry Thurtell The following information was received from Peter Murray in 1997. HenryThurtell, son of John and Alice Thurtell, was mentioned in his father'swill in 1729, by which he was left his father's best suit of wearingclothes, and and his best buckskin breeches, but no baptismal record forhim has yet been found. This must certainly be the Henry Thurtle,blacksmith, who was admitted a Freeman of Norwich on March 1, 1734 (infofrom Norfolk Record Office). In 1735 in his mother's will he was leftthe sum of one shilling. Henry Thurtle, presumably the same one, married Anne Wright on June 17,1734, at Smallburgh Norfolk (IGI entry). Henry Thurtle, who was of theparish of Norwich St. Julian, died intestate, and the Admon dated October8, 1741, mentions Ann Thirtill, his widow, and John Thurtill of Trowse, abarber, who we can assume was his brother (copy obt from Norfolk RecordOfc). Henry and Anne Thurtell had four children of whom record has beenfound. ------------ ADMON OF HENRY THURTLE, OF NORWICH ST JULIAN, BLACKSMITH 1740-1, ANW (Archdeaconry of Norwich?)

HenryThurtle would therefore be the uncle of our James Thurtell (see accountof THURTELL OF TROWSE NEWTON). Henry Thurtell married Ann Wright, inSmallburgh Norfolk, in 1734 (IGI record).
