Turner
Proof that Samuel Turner bapt 1788 is our Samuel Turner
We declare that Samuel Turner bapt 1788, son of John Turner, is our family's Samuel Turner, for the following reasons:
- Our Samuel Turner married in Cambridge in 1808.
He was a bricklayer, of King St, Cambridge.
- John Turner, bricklayer, of King St, Cambridge,
with children baptised 1810 to 1816,
must be a close relation (most likely brother)
of our
Samuel Turner, bricklayer, of King St, Cambridge.
- We have a DNA match of a descendant of John
and a descendant of Samuel.
The DNA match makes them more likely brothers than cousins.
- We have brothers John (bapt 1784)
and Samuel (bapt 1788)
sons of John Turner and wife Mary in Cambridge.
These must be the brothers.
- John Turner and wife Mary also have dau Mary (bapt 1785).
And
"John Turner" and "Mary Turner"
witnessed the marriage of our Samuel Turner.
Must be his siblings.
There are too many links.
And DNA says this is all our family.

Samuel bapt 1788, son of John and Mary, and brother of John bapt 1784.
