Sarah Turner

[woodlea]

Could anyone please help me to find the family of my Great Grandmother. Name Sarah Turner b1847c Dumfires & married James Bryson 4 Dec. 1868 Dumfries this is all I know about her. Any help to guide me in the right direction.

Her parents were John Turner, coachman, and Mary Turner. No MS given for her mother.

Scotlands People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk will probably have more information.

Have you tried looking for her on the  free view 1851 census -

Hi Gadget
Thanks for you information. Yes I did try Free view 1851 census but came up with a different answer. Found a Sarah Turner age 3 father John Turner Spalding Arms Inn, wife Sarah. Will try & find your John & Mary.

Did the Spalding Arms one have John as a coachman?

Interested in the Spalding Arms - I have a line from KKD who are Spaldings

The Spalding Arms had a John Turner age 25 Innkeeper. Wife Sarah age 25, Robina 18, Mary 5, Sarah 3 & John 1. Hope this is of some help.

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?
