   Listed as "Samuel Nelson Turner" at dau's bapt.
   He mar Mary ----.
   Mary's date of birth: The 1841 census entry for King St is unclear. If she is the Mary, age 40 [born 1801, Cambridgeshire] who is listed next to Samuel Turner, then she would be extraordinarily older than husband. At birth of first child he would be age 18, she would be age 30. Maybe this Mary in the census is not her.
