Notes for Henry THURTELL
The following information was received from Peter Murray in 1997. Henry
Thurtell, son of John and Alice Thurtell, was mentioned in his father's
will in 1729, by which he was left his father's best suit of wearing
clothes, and and his best buckskin breeches, but no baptismal record for
him has yet been found. This must certainly be the Henry Thurtle,
blacksmith, who was admitted a Freeman of Norwich on March 1, 1734 (info
from Norfolk Record Office). In 1735 in his mother's will he was left
the 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 the
parish of Norwich St. Julian, died intestate, and the Admon dated October
8, 1741, mentions Ann Thirtill, his widow, and John Thurtill of Trowse, a
barber, who we can assume was his brother (copy obt from Norfolk Record
Ofc). Henry and Anne Thurtell had four children of whom record has been
found.

[END OF DOCUMENT]
NOTES:
The above Henry Thurtle deceased is very probably the brother of the John
Thurtill, barber of Trowse, who signed this document, who can be none
other than the John Thurtell periwigmaker of Trowse Newton who is deduced
to be the father of our ancestor James Thurtell of Flixton. Henry
Thurtle would therefore be the uncle of our James Thurtell (see account
of THURTELL OF TROWSE NEWTON). Henry Thurtell married Ann Wright, in
Smallburgh Norfolk, in 1734 (IGI record). The seals of Ann Thirtill and
John Thurtill should be examined to identify crests, insignia etc.
