Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Re: James Turnbull

That's great information.  I was a bit optimistic with the ages/dates of Martha/Mary, so I'm glad you have other proof.  Martha may well have been another sibling, so it's good to have Mary linked by other evidence.  You now have one, and possibly two of the missing siblings, and I can add the Turnbull family to my tree.

Thanks for all your help.

I think I've found her in the 1841 census  :)
Martha Turnbull age 15 was in service at the farm of the Walton family in Ambling gate which is next door to Smailburn.
Martha could be Mary and the rounding of ages in the 1841 census could mean she was as old as 19 which fits with Mary's birthdate of around 1821.
Do you already have a Martha in James' Family, or could this be Mary?

Good call on the marriage witnesses.  I don't have copy but I'll try to find out.
Mary is a great candidate to be one of James' children, but I can find no record of her before her marriage. 
She called her first son James, and her second daughter Elizabeth, (her first daughter was call Phoebe after Mary's mother in law).
Mary Turnbull is my Wife's great great grandmother

Has anyone associated a "Mary Turnbull" b. 1821 with this family.  She married a Thomas Pickering in 1842 in Wolsingham, and her father was Given as James Turnbull (Farmer).  Could it be your James Turnbull?  I can't find anything else about Mary
