Notes for Maria THURTELL
The family tree done by Harriet Thurtell about 1900 and the History of
the Thurtell Family done by Susan Persia Thurtell about 1968 show Maria
Thurtell married John Browne.
The IGI files at the LDS Family History Center (Batch M040661) show Maria
Thurtell married John Browne on October 8, 1814, at Witton near North
Walsham, Norfolk, England.
According to information received in 1997 from Peter Murray, Maria
Thurtell,
born February 5, 1793 (baptised at Hopton February 17, 1793) married her
"first cousin," John Browne. Exactly how they were cousins remains to be
proven beyond doubt, but Browne family sources believe him to be the son
of Robert and Sarah (Thurtell) Browne. The marriage is recorded, John
Brown and Maria Thurtle, October 8, 1814, at Witton near Blofield,
Norfolk. They lived at Norton Hall, Norfolk, the exact location of which
has been forgotten, and had 24 children of which several were twins.
According to Browne family tradition, John Browne was decorated for
gallantry on the field at the battle of Waterloo. Maria Browne was the
largest beneficiary of the will of her sister Anne Everitt in 1866.
The names of ten of her children are known. The other children probably
died young.
