17 January 1790[1] – 18 February 1868)[2] was an English classical musician, and was one of the artist J. M. W. Turner's first cousins.
He sang in the 1834 Handel Commemoration in London, as J. M. W. Turner noted on looking at the programme.
Two years later Turner's daughter Maria Harriet married a London builder and surveyor, whom she later deserted for another husband.
Turner married Maria Pridham in 1865,[7] some time after retiring from the cathedral and only a few years before his death in 1868.
Selby Whittingham (in The Turners of Devon) believed that he was the father.
