(Research):His name is shown as Alfred Thurtell, and his wife's name as Annie Pears, in the family tree done by Harriet Thurtell about 1900 and the History of the Thurtell Family done about 1968 by Susan Persia Thurtell. All ten of their children are listed in that record, along with some of their grandchildren, however.

He became a Government Land Surveyor in Cape Colony, South Africa. He and his wife lived at Briedbach, on the Yellowwoods River outside King Williamstown, and later in East London. He died April 9, 1909, and he and his wife are both buried at East London.
