After being orphaned by the death of their mother, Jane, in October, 1868, David and his sister, Sarah, lived with their father, William Turnbull, in the home of their grandparents, Edward Turnbull ( M, #38816) and Jessie C Colquhoun (F, #61548).

Their marriage announcement in The Eastern Chronicle, Dec. 14, 1882, says the groom was from New Glasgow and the wedding took place in Truro . It is often difficult to decipher the handwriting on old documents. From the census of 1871, I copied her name as "Miegy(?) L." and from the 1881 census as "Maisie J." Only she and the next were living in their parents' household in the 1881 census.
