Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann AT yahoo.com, wrote in a post-em:

Turchetil de HARCOURT, Seigneur de Turqueville [Ref: Turton (prob using Burke's)]

Turketil de TURQUEVILLE [Ref: Watney p99]

Turquetil Seigneur de TURQUETIL et de TANQUERAYE. His name has been spelt 
Turchil, Turketil, Turkel, Turkeul, Turquetal, Torkel, Torketil, Torchetil, Thorkil, 
Thorkel, Thurkild, Turquetil, Thorchetil, etc. It is a Danish name meaning Thor's Kettle 
or Cauldron. Turchetil de Neufmarche was his namesake. Turchetil III Baron De 
Tourville, Seigneur de Tourville and de Tanqueray.

Turquetil, seigneur de Turqueville, and de Tanqueraye, about 1001, appears in 
several charters concerning the abbeys of Fecamp and Bernay. He was lord of 
Neufmarche-en-Lions, governor of the boy duke, William... Turquetil was the second 
son of Torf, the son of Bernard the Dane... Turquetil, Turqueville or Tanqueraye, de 
Neufmarche, second son. died about 1036. He married Anceline, sister of Turstain of 
Montfort-sur-Risle. [Ref: 

Research note: can Turqueville also be Torville? Watney lists his father as Torf "the 
Rich" de HARCOURT, Seigneur de Torville & states he built the castle of Torville in 
955. McBride shows Tourville. Is this French vs English for the same placename?

death: was treacherously assassinated between 1035 and 1040 by hirelings of Raoul 
de Gace... Murdered along with three other governor's of the young William future 
King of England. [Ref: McBride] (I show 1027, unfortunately I didn't identify the 
source, but it was apparently more solid than McBride or I would have replaced it as 
per McBride).

Curt

Note: I find both a Turlaville & a Turqeville near Cherbourg, Normandy. I don't know 
whether the names are anglicized or not.
