Notes for William Ellis THURTELL

---

According to the History of the Thurtell Family done by Susan Persia
Thurtell about 1968 William [Ellis (?)] Thurtell was born about 1856 and
died 1923 and married Augusta Sydney.

Information received from Peter Murray in 1997 shows that William Ellis
Thurtell, born in 1855, is described as having been a "bright and
promising young man, but disappointing in later life. He studied
medicine at the University of Cambridge but failed examinations, had an
unhappy marriage, and saddened his father by becoming an atheist"
according to information received from M. E. Shearing. When last heard
from he was in South America (Mickle Collection document at the
University of Guelph Library).

He married, Augusta Sydney but had no children. His Murray cousin and
fellow student (Dr. A. E. Murray) seems to have inherited some of his
silver tableware inscribed "WET."
