John Turner & Rebecca Bothway
Origins
As we have seen, the Turner family came from the area surrounding Wisbech in the Fens of Lincolnshire. John and Rebecca were from Crowland, Lincolnshire where they married c. 1780, where their children were born and where they probably lived out their lives.

We do not know any earlier history of the Turner side of the family.

The Bothways on the other hand have a very rare name and by piecing together the available records, it is almost certain that they had lived for many generations prior to this in Crowland.
