Upon the death of his uncle, William Turner made Towthorpe[37] his principal perhaps his only place of abode, and exactly two years after that event, viz., on Jan. 14, 1621-2, his marriage to Thomasine Newton was solemnized at the little church of the parish of Huntington, in which the township of Towthorpe is situate. The extreme youth of the lady was most probably the cause of the postponement of the marriage (which, as you observe, had evidently been contemplated by the uncle) until the expiration of two years after his death. At that time she could not have been more than fifteen years old. Her father, Christopher Newton, was not of age in 1604, when his father, Miles Newton, died;[38] and it is pretty certain that he was not then married. In what creed either of the parents of Edith Pope was educated, we have no means of ascertaining, but we may reasonably suppose that their religious faith would take its colour from that which was professed by him of whom they were the adopted children. If the Roman Catholic tendency were less manifest in them, we see it abundantly developed in their numerous offspring, of whom a considerable proportion, we are told, were avowedly members of the ancient church. The origin of that particular regard which Lancelot Turner had for Thomasine Newton remains inexplicable. His having "household stuff at Kilburn," which he bequeathed to her by his will, would indicate that he had occasionally resided at the house of her parents at that place. The will of either of them might have thrown some light upon these points; but such documents, if they exist, have hitherto eluded our researches. About thirteen months after the marriage of William Turner and Thomasine Newton, their first child was born. "Christian Turner,[39] daughter of William Turner of Towthorpe gentleman," was baptized at Huntington on Feb. 19, 1622-23. The second child was a son. On March 30, 1624, "George Turner, son of William Turner of Towthorpe gentleman," was baptized at Huntington. This was doubtless one of the youths whose "gentle blood was shed in honour's cause." About two years afterwards, the second daughter was born--Alice, of whom you speak as the wife of Richard Mawhood,[40] was baptized at Huntington on the 23rd of March, 1625-6. After this time the parochial register of Huntington ceases to yield any information relating to William Turner or his family.
