Sharon Turner

Sharon Turner (24 September 1768 – 13 February 1847) was an English historian.
==Life==

Born in Pentonville, Turner was the eldest son of William and Ann Turner of Yorkshire who had settled in London upon marrying.〔H. R. Loyn, '(Turner, Sharon (1768–1847) )', ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, Sept 2004; online edn, May 2009, accessed 14 August 2010.〕 He left school at fifteen to be articled to an attorney in the Temple. On 18 January 1795 he married Mary Watts (''bap.'' 1768, died 1843), with whom he had at least six children. Among these were Sydney, inspector of reformatory schools, and Mary, married to the economist William Ellis.〔
Turner became a solicitor but left the profession after he became interested in the study of Icelandic and Anglo-Saxon literature. He settled himself in Red Lion Square near the British Museum, staying there for sixteen years. When his friend Isaac D'Israeli left the synagogue after a dispute with the rabbi, Turner persuaded him to join the Church of England and baptise his children (including the future Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli) to give them a better chance in life.〔
It is said that some of his manuscripts were written in the margins of letters, on the inside covers of magazines, or on discarded wax paper. His publisher sent him clean paper but Turner did not use it.
