Notes for George EVERITT

The family tree done by Harriet Thurtell about 1900 and the History of the Thurtell Family done by Susan Persia Thurtell about 1968, both in the possession of Susan Persia Thurtell Miller, show Anne Thurtell married George Everitt, and they had no children.

Information received from Peter Murray in 1997 shows George Everitt was born August 1, 1791, and died February 20, 1844, and is buried at Caister, Norfolk, England.

His information also shows that George and William Everitt, the eldest brothers of Mary Everitt who married Alfred Thurtell at which time he adopted the surname Murray, themselves took Thurtell wives, sisters of Alfred. The Everitt brothers set up business in Lowestoft, Suffolk, and appear to have played an important part in planning the modernization of the harbour facilities. Gillingwater's History of Lowestoft states that in 1842 the Harbour and navigation of Lowestoft were purchased of the Exchequer Loan Commissioners by Messrs. Cleveland, Everitt, Lincoln, Hickling, and Roe, of Lowestoft, who expended considerable sums in repairs and continued in possession until 1844. In that year they sold the harbour and navigation of Lowestoft to Samuel Morton (later Sir Morton) Peto, who was to become Lowestoft's greatest benefactor, building the railway and improving the harbour. George Everitt died that year (1844) without children.
