Thomas Turnbull

Other Events:

• Occupation: Assistant Surveyer

Notes:

I have assumed that the Thomas Turnbull that Andrew worked with is also the one whose granddaughter married Andrew's son Peter. Thomas was an apprentice from the Madras Male Orphan Asylum. Most of the boys were the children of Indian mothers and British fathers, presumably married, though this is not actually mentioned. The fathers were mainly soldiers killed in action, and although the boys were termed 'orphans' it seems that sometimes the mothers were still around.

Thomas married Harriett Nash on 20 Jul 1807 in Tanjore, Madras, India. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
