Person: Edward Turner (1812 - 1879)

This week, WeRelate looks at the Person Page of Edward Turner, born prior to his christening on 19 March 1812 in Heckington, Lincolnshire, England, son of John Turner and his wife Sarah Allen. Edward was married once on 19 September 1840 to Naomi Hardstaff and had six daughters, five surviving to adulthood. Naomi died in 1850, aged just 31. Edward was therefore left a widower at the age of 38, with five daughters aged from ten down to less than two to look after. Before and after his marriage to Naomi, Edward fathered two children out-of-wedlock with two different women, but is unclear if he played a role in their upbringing. Edward Turner died in 1879, aged 67. He was buried on 30th December 1879 at Heckington, where he had lived his whole life.
