Ireland. He died on July 16th, 1912 in
St. Lukes, Greytown.
General Notes
A1 according to BENC which means that he is patriarch of the Turpin family in SA.
On his marriage certificate he is Phillip Henry Turpin aged 26 which gives his birth date as 1844. He is also descibed as a schoolmaster but could possibly have become a missionary. The difference in names and DOB cannot be explained. Doubtful if that two Turpins could hgave married on the same date to two girls with same names although spelling on marriage certificate is Maartens.
