Hi
David Thomas Ansted (Professor) is related to my ..is my 3rd Cousin 5 time removed. I am a descendant of the Turners of Shavington. Thomas Turner b 1664 was my ggggggggrandfather. David Ansted was the son of Hester Turner and William Ansted. If you think we are related I would like to hear from you or anyone who thinks they are related. Also, I note Richard’s comments above..I also have Burton in my tree…Mary Elizabeth Burton married Robert William Turner Jones who were my great grandparents, her Burton line goes back a long way in England. Looking forward to hearing from anyone..cheers Chris (Brisbane Australia)

Thomas Ansted is my GGGG Grandfather through his son, Thomas. You have helped me fill some gaps on the Ansted family tree. Thomas’s father was another Thomas, son of David, a shipwright from Northfleet born about 1680. 1764 Thomas’s nephew was the great geologist, David Thomas Ansted after whom Ansted in the USA was named. it was a close family as Dionysia Burton’s sister Clara was staying with DT in the 1851 census.
