Turing was born in [[Maida Vale]], London, while his father, Julius Mathison Turing, was on leave from his position with the [[Indian Civil Service]] (ICS) of the [[British Raj|British Raj government]] at [[Chatrapur]], then in the [[Madras Presidency]] and presently in [[Odisha]] state, in [[India]].<ref name = "Hodges1983P5">{{Harvnb|Hodges|1983|p=5}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.turing.org.uk/turing/scrapbook/early.html |title=The Alan Turing Internet Scrapbook |publisher=[[Alan Turing: The Enigma]] |access-date=2 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120614051614/http://www.turing.org.uk/turing/scrapbook/early.html |archive-date=14 June 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref> Turing's father was the son of a clergyman, the Rev.&nbsp;John Robert Turing, from a Scottish family of merchants that had been based in the Netherlands and included a [[baronet]]. Turing's mother, Julius's wife, was Ethel Sara Turing ({{nee|Stoney}}), daughter of Edward Waller Stoney, chief engineer of the [[Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway|Madras Railways]]. The Stoneys were a [[Protestantism in Ireland|Protestant]] [[Anglo-Irish people|Anglo-Irish]] [[gentry]] family from both [[County Tipperary]] and [[County Longford]], while Ethel herself had spent much of her childhood in [[County Clare]].<ref>{{Cite news |first=Phil |last=Maguire |title=An Irishman's Diary |page=5 |newspaper=[[The Irish Times]] |date=23 June 2012}}</ref> Julius and Ethel married on 1 October 1907 at the Church of Ireland [[St Bartholomew's Church, Dublin|St. Bartholomew's Church]] on [[Clyde Road]] in [[Ballsbridge]], [[Dublin]].<ref>Irish Marriages 1845–1958 / Dublin South, Dublin, Ireland / Group Registration ID 1990366, SR District/Reg Area, Dublin South</ref>

Julius's work with the ICS brought the family to British India, where his grandfather had been a general in the [[Bengal Army]]. However, both Julius and Ethel wanted their children to be brought up in Britain, so they moved to [[Maida Vale]],<ref name="englishheritaget">{{cite web|url=http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.001002006005/chooseLetter/T |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090903150218/http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.001002006005/chooseLetter/T |archive-date=3 September 2009 |title=London Blue Plaques |access-date=10 February 2007 |work=English Heritage |url-status=live}}</ref> London, where Alan Turing was born on 23 June 1912, as recorded by a [[blue plaque]] on the outside of the house of his birth,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://blogs.nature.com/london/2011/03/16/the-scientific-tourist-in-london-17-alan-turings-birth-place |title=The Scientific Tourist In London: #17 Alan Turing's Birth Place |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921054045/http://blogs.nature.com/london/2011/03/16/the-scientific-tourist-in-london-17-alan-turings-birth-place |archive-date=21 September 2013 |website=Nature London Blog}},</ref><ref>{{openplaque|381}}</ref> later the [[Colonnade Hotel (London)|Colonnade Hotel]].<ref name="Hodges1983P5"/><ref name="turingorguk">{{cite web | url=http://www.turing.org.uk/turing/scrapbook/memorial.html | title=The Alan Turing Internet Scrapbook | access-date=26 September 2006 | archive-url=https://wayback.archive-it.org/all/20110720214124/http://www.turing.org.uk/turing/scrapbook/memorial.html | archive-date=20 July 2011 | url-status=live }}</ref> Turing had an elder brother, John Ferrier Turing, father of [[Dermot Turing]], 12th Baronet of the [[Turing baronets]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://bletchleypark.org.uk/about-us/bletchley-park-trustees/sir-john-dermot-turing |title=Sir John Dermot Turing |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171018191443/https://bletchleypark.org.uk/about-us/bletchley-park-trustees/sir-john-dermot-turing |archive-date=18 October 2017 |website=Bletchley Park}}</ref>

Turing's father's civil service commission was still active during Turing's childhood years, and his parents travelled between [[Hastings]] in the United Kingdom<ref>{{Harvnb|Hodges|1983|p=6}}</ref> and India, leaving their two sons to stay with a retired [[British Army|Army]] couple. At Hastings, Turing stayed at [[Baston Lodge]], Upper Maze Hill, [[St Leonards-on-Sea]], now marked with a blue plaque.<ref name="Hastings & St. Leonards Observer - 29 June 2012 - Plaque unveiled at Turing's home in St Leonards">{{cite news|url=http://www.hastingsobserver.co.uk/news/plaque-unveiled-at-turing-s-home-in-st-leonards-1-4003535|title=Plaque unveiled at Turing's home in St Leonards|date=29 June 2012|work=[[Hastings & St. Leonards Observer]]|access-date=3 July 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170912121655/http://www.hastingsobserver.co.uk/news/plaque-unveiled-at-turing-s-home-in-st-leonards-1-4003535|archive-date=12 September 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> The plaque was unveiled on 23 June 2012, the centenary of Turing's birth.<ref name="BBC News - 25 June 2012 - St Leonards plaque marks Alan Turing's early years">{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-sussex-18580826|title=St Leonards plaque marks Alan Turing's early years|date=25 June 2012|work=[[BBC News]]|access-date=3 July 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171203074933/http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-sussex-18580826|archive-date=3 December 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

Very early in life, Turing's parents purchased a house in [[Guildford]] in 1927, and Turing lived there during school holidays. The location is also marked with a blue plaque.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.guildford-dragon.com/2012/11/29/founder-of-computer-science-alan-turings-guildford-stargazing/ |title=Guildford Dragon NEWS |newspaper=The Guildford Dragon |date=29 November 2012 |access-date=31 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131019062927/http://www.guildford-dragon.com/2012/11/29/founder-of-computer-science-alan-turings-guildford-stargazing/ |archive-date=19 October 2013 |url-status=live }}</ref>
