Henry Turner (10 November 1844 – 9 August 1932) was a member of both the Queensland Legislative Council and the Queensland Legislative Assembly.[1]
Early life
Turner was born in November 1844 at Aynho, Northamptonshire, England to Thomas Turner and his wife Leah (née Fathers).[1][2] He was apprenticed in a plant nursery and then worked as a gardener.[2] Upon arriving in Rockhampton in 1880, he worked at the local meatworks for many years where he began to take an active interest in the labour movement.[3]
Political career
Upon the resignation of James Stewart to stand for a senate seat in the 1901 federal election,[4] Turner, representing the Labour Party, contested the subsequent by-election in June of that year and defeated the Ministerial candidate, John Linnett.[5] The election outcome was successfully challenged in the courts by Linnett and he was declared duly elected.[6]
Turner once again won the seat at the 1902 state election[7] and in the 1904 state election and remained the sitting member till his resignation in May 1907.[2] Two months later, Premier William Kidston appointed Turner to the Legislative Council,[8] remaining there until the Labour members of the Council voted to abolish the Council in March 1922.[1]
Personal life
Turner married Louisa Langford Stevens in Middlesex in 1866.[9] The couple had 5 children.[1] His wife Louisa died on 11 February 1882 and was buried in the North Rockhampton Cemetery.[10][11] He subsequently married Ida Martha Ridgewell (b. 29 March 1879; d. 1965) and they had two children, Gwendoline Ida (1911-1975) and Geoffrey Ridgewell (1918-1998).
Henry died in Brisbane in 1932 and was buried in Toowong Cemetery.[12]
