Whilst looking into Thomas Turner the baker, I discovered that he was George Thomas' maternal grandfather. Mary Turner having married George Twelvetree in 1854. They lived in Eye, and had 3 children, but in January 1862 they both died. George's (senior) probate notice names Thomas Turner as the children's grandfather and guardian.
