Magdalen Turton was Alister's Great x 6 Grandmother. She was the grandmother of Ann Transom nee Beard (wife of James Transom Snr). The Turton family of Bridgnorth, Shropshire, who I have found so far, are as follows:
(I am suspicious that Henry's father was called Francis, but am yet to confirm this...)
Henry Turton married Jane ? some time around 1700. They probably married in Shropshire, but at this time I am unable to confirm the exact date or location. Henry and Jane had at least three children:
1. Elinor Turton (chr. 10 May 1703, St Leonard, Bridgnorth, Shropshire)
2. Francis Turton (chr. 24 May 1705, St Leonard, Bridgnorth, Shropshire) appears to have married Elizabeth ? prior to 1737. Together, Francis and Elizabeth appear to have had the following children:
2.1 Ann Turton (chr. 16 March 1737, Broseley, Shropshire)
2.2 Mary Turton (chr. 23 June 1738, St Leonard, Bridgnorth, Shropshire)
2.3 Henry Turton (chr. 13 August 1739, St Leonard, Bridgnorth, Shropshire)
2.4 John Turton (chr. 26 July 1742, St Leonard, Bridgnorth, Shropshire)
2.5 Elizabeth Turton (chr. 13 November 1743, St Leonard, Bridgnorth, Shropshire)
2.6 Francis Turton (chr. 4 July 1748, St Leonard, Bridgnorth, Shropshire)
3. Magdalen Turton (chr. 3 January 1707, St Leonard, Bridgnorth, Shropshire) married Thomas Beard (chr. 24 July 1702, St Leonard, Bridgnorth, Shropshire) on 28 April 1732 at St Leonard, Bridgnorth, Shropshire. More about their family here.
I'm very interested in any more information anyone can provide about the Turton family of Shropshire.
