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.
