Yep that's possibly it as far as the info goes but we can't find Mary or John Turner or deaths 

On Sarah's marriage cert, they appear to be alive

That's what I was thinking, Joe 

Interesting though that Wilhelmina used Turner as one of her daughter's names.

Just found on IGI a possible birth for Janet Shand (death cert gave no info) :

3rd Aug 1789, Burntisland. Parents Peter Shand and Nelly Masterson

Hi Joe and Hume

It might be worth doing some searching on young John Turner, Sarah's younger brother, going by the 1851. Born circa 1848, Dunscore

I've had a look but can't find a bapt for him so far.

Hi all
Thanks to everyone for their input. While iv'e been away you have nearly resolved which family Sarah Turner belongs to.
All I can add is that she died in Wigton workhouse & was buried 26 March 1918. Will continue to delve a little deeper into her family.
Regards to all

Hi Gadget,

Had a quick look for John in 1861, but can't see any possibilities. Nor can I see any deaths on SP.

I also tried looking for possible marriages/deaths for Mary McNoe, but nothing appearing there either.

I'm sure I saw a death that I discounted as too young when I was looking for John Turner, senior. I'll go back and have a look.

Thee's one in Dalry in 1913, aged 64. He might have died before 1855 though or moved anywhere in Scotland  or gone abroad or moved to Cumbria

Have sent a few e-mails to people with McNoe & Shand in their families via Genes Reunited awaiting replies. Perhaps we way get another lead.
