I see that it was the one in Balmaclellan. It's still there by the bridge but called something else now and I can't remember 
Do you have a date and place of death? I've been looking but can't find a good match. It might give other info on her mother.

PS - i also found one as a grandaughter - will go and check again!

Could she possibly be the one in Dunscore on the 1861
McCubbington, Dunscore
822 ED 4 Page 4
William Crosbie, hd, 50, farmer of 111 acres, b. Dunscore
Sarah Turner, sister, 37, housekeeper, b. Dunscore
Mary Jane Turner, niece, 15, housemaid, b. Tynron
Sarah Turner, niece, 12, b. Dunscore
John Turner, nephew, 10, b. Tynron
Marion Thomson, serv, 22, general servant, b, Kirkgunzeon
Looks very like the Spalding Arms family

Getting more confusing by the minute. Could be any one of them. Have just started to look for Sarah Turner, so far have a lot of her husbands side of the family (Bryson) May have to try Scotlands people in the end. Have not tried a pay to view site yet being a pensioner have to watch the pennies. Made a few mistakes with the certificates it can get very expensive.

I'll PM you about the marriage cert
Do you have any rough idea of her death and where?

It might be because they don't appear on the Scottish site 
A pity that they moved across the border, it would have given another check on her parentage . English death certs don't give that info.

We're trying to find Sarah's parents, Joe. Can you check the 1851 as well, in case we've missed any, please

James parents were Robert and Dina .
Both James and Sarah gave Gretna addresses on their marriage cert.
