John Thomas Turner aged 40 married , " to wife", born England, dest. Ottawa. Ont. Coachman , intended occupation Railway Works
John Thomas Turner aged 18 single , " to mother " born England , dest. Ottawa , Groom.

Departure Liverpool, Arrived 21 May 1913 Quebec , Vessel Megantic.

The words " to wife" and " to mother " are entered in a column intended for details of previous visits to Canada but used on this manifest to indicate to whom the traveller is going.

Do these two match  your family ?

I think the names refer to the various planes he was tested on .

Avro Manchester , Avro Anson , Spitfire, North American Harvard :

I can't find anything for Master and Spitfire is self explanatory.

EDIT - this might be the Master :

A tree gives a third child :
Graham Julian BROADHEAD b 31 July 1957 Singapore died 2 July 1999 , citing the Social Security records. I’m having computer problems so can’t look further just now. I’m sure someone will check it out.

Gloria Broadhead has 2 children with her when she travels to Singapore in 1955. Their births can be found in the Index of births :

 Broadhead ( mmn Jones )  2Q 1955 Wellington Shropshire 9A 328
 Broadhead ( mmn Jones ) 2Q 1953 Hereford 9A 54

They may be living so I haven't given names and I hope the above details don't go too far - will delete if necessary.

Gloria J D BROADHEAD arrived Seattle 28 May 1962 on Pan Am flight 123. This matches the date on the Naturalisation papers.

There is a Gloria Van Sickle from Great Britain who became a US citizen in 1967 in Phoenix.  https://www.newspapers.com/article/arizona-republic/135201627/

There are some Van Sickle men in the right age range in the Phoenix area, but I haven't matched any up to your Gloria or the address.

Various Naturalisation papers give her name as Gloria June Dawn Van Sickle born 6 June 1930 in Lewes Sussex. She made an application for her Petition to be transferred from Washington State to Arizona. The following addresses are mentioned :
4617 S. Fawcett Tacoma Pierce Washington
4917 East Indian School Road Phoenix Maricopa Arizona
She states that she was admitted to the US for permanent residence May 28 1962.

There is a Gloria J D Jones 2Q 1930 Lewes 2B 225 mmn Dowling. She appears to have married in 1952 in Abergavenny but not to Van Sickle. She travelled to Singapore in 1955 as Gloria June Dawn Broadhead.
