==============================

(Alan) Turing was conceived at Chhatrapur, Orissa, in British India. His father, Julius Mathison Turing (1873-1947), was a member of an old aristocratic family of Scottish descent who worked for the Indian Civil Service (the ICS). Julius's wife, Alan's mother, was Ethel Sara (née Stoney; 1881-1976), daughter of Edward Waller Stoney, chief engineer of the Madras Railways. The Stoneys (according to "An Irishman's Diary", Phil Maguire, The Irish Times, 23 June 2012, page 5) were a Protestant Anglo-Irish gentry family from both County Tipperary and County Longford, while Ethel herself had spent much of her childhood in County Clare. She was later educated at Alexandra College in Dublin. Julius and Ethel were married at St Bartholomew's Church on Clyde Road in Ballsbridge, Dublin, in October 1907. Julius's work with the ICS brought the family to British India. However, both Julius and Ethel wanted their children to be brought up in England, so they moved to Maida Vale, London, where Turing was born on 23 June 1912, as recorded by a blue plaque on the outside of the house of his birth, later the Colonnade Hotel. He had an elder brother, John (the father of Sir John Dermot Turing, 12th Baronet of the Turing Baronets). His father's civil service commission was still active, and during Turing's childhood years his parents traveled between Hastings in England and India, leaving their two sons to stay with a retired Army couple.

=========================

On 8 June 1954, Turing's cleaner found him dead; he had died the previous day. A post-mortem examination established that the cause of death was cyanide poisoning. When his body was discovered an apple lay half-eaten beside his bed, and although the apple was not tested for cyanide, it is speculated that this was the means by which a fatal dose was consumed. An inquest determined that he had committed suicide, and he was cremated at Woking Crematorium on 12 June 1954.

*Turing's ashes were scattered at Woking Crematorium as had been those of his father.*

Julius Turing passed the ICS in 1896, his specialisations being Indian law and the Tamil language. He joined duty in Madras. In 1907, at Dublin, he married Ethel, daughter of Edward Waller Stoney, the chief engineer of the Madras Railway Company (MRC), headquartered at Royapuram.

Julius and Ethel's first son John was delivered at the Stoney bungalow in Coonoor. Their second child, Alan, was conceived in Orissa, then a part of Madras Presidency. The baby was delivered in England on June 23, 1912, and destined to never see India. The boys were left with relatives and friends while the parents sailed back and forth from India. In 1926, the Madras connection was severed forever when Julius Turing resigned from the ICS in a huff, incensed over A.Y.G. Campbell being appointed chief secretary of Madras.
