Would be interested to talk to anyone who has a Turney from Tring/Berkhampstead area on their tree. I've got as far back as DANIEL Turney (c1750) based on IGI. Trail gets more concrete with MOSES Turney (c1832), a one-time funeral musician who married Jane (or Sara Jane) Gower in 1851. They had a lot of children. I think the list reads:
Emma 1851,
Ann 1854,
Edward 1858,
Albert 1861,
Moses 1868,
William c1869,
Mary 1871,
Cornelius 1876 (my gt, grandfather),
and finally Arthur c1886.

Did any of them emigrate? Any links gratefully received as the family don't seem to have been too hot on record keeping.
