Notes for Anne THURTELL
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.
The IGI files at the LDS Family History Center show Ann Thurtell was born
in 1793 in Blundeston, Suffolk, England (Batch 446036). They also show
in Batch M131421? that she married George Everitt on October 20, 1817?,
in Brabuell?, Suffolk, England. The microfiche is very hard to read by
her marriage information.
According to the information received in 1997 from Charlotte Mackie, Anne
Everitt sailed from Suffolk, England, in April 1953 and arrived in New
York on Thursday, May 19, 1853. Her brother, Benjamin Thurtell, Anne
Everitt, and the other Suffolk emigrants who settled in the Guelph area
in the 1830's were reunited with Anne's nephew, Edward Brookes Thurtell,
from Wisconsin, in August 1853.
Information received from Peter Murray in 1997 shows that Anne Everitt,
born December 12, 1791 (baptised December 18, 1791, at Hopton and
received into that church June 10, 1792), died in 1866, and was buried at
Caister December 25, 1866 (or 1856 for these dates?... a document in the
Mickle Collection, Guelph, instead gives the date 1857). She travelled to
Canada to visit her brother Benjamin in 1853, and an account of her
travels is in the Mickle Collection at the University of Guelph Library,
Guelph, Ontario, Canada, with copies of her diary in the possession of
several relatives including Susan Persia Thurtell Miller. She also
visited South Africa. The Mickle collection has an account of some of the
things she bequeathed to her relatives in Canada and South Africa. A
letter dated February 9, 1866, gives more details: She died at Hastings
a few days before Christmas day after a few days of unusual illness, and
had suffered from bronchitis for several years. She was buried at
Caister in the vault with her deceased husband. The greater part of her
property went to Anne Browne (her sister). Other beneficiaries were
expected to be her unmarried nieces. She left 200 pounds also to her
brother James Murray. Her will was considered a very just one, just like
herself. It is clear from all mentions of her in this and other records
that she was a greatly beloved person. A photo of her exists.
She was married in Bradwell Parish, Suffolk, October 20, 1817, to George
Everitt, who was born August 1, 1791, and died February 20, 1844, and was
buried at Caister, Norfolk. They had no issue.
According to the Thurtell Pedigree she married 2ndly, ... Clowes, but
instead her 1st marriage was to a Mr. Clows according to a note on the
Everitt Pedigree, and in fact this other marriage to Clowes probably
never happened. She is still called "Aunt Anne Everitt" in a
contemporary letter at the time of her death.
