??30 | 28 | 28 | Edwin | 21 | M | Printer | Living with Nathan Cars, Publisher | |||
Edith is the daughter of George's first marriage with Julia Smith (of Midland) and Albert, George's brother, is living with them. I found an Edwin Turner age 21 (born c.1839) which matches our Edwin's birth date but the census says that this Edwin was born in Lower Canada which is present day the province of Quebec, Canada. His occupation was a printer. Albert also worked in a printer's office. Edwin, of this census, is living at another Midland location. If we assume that Edwin is of our family and only the birth location is wrong then the only person missing is William Turner. The William that I am tracing was reported to have move to South Bend, Ind. Prior to South Bend William may have been at Niles, Berrien County, Michigan and he may have been there at the time of this census. He would have been about 19 years of age. Also in this census are two Sylvester Vibbers. One was 50 years of age and the other 18. I suspect that the 18 year old Sylvester Vibber is the one who married Emily Turner in 1864. Sylvester was said to have been born in Upper Canada which is presently the province of Ontario, Canada. |

Emily | 33 | F | W | Housekeeper | England | ||||
This home may have been 1702 Court St., Saginaw; Janette is Jeanette W. A. Byron; Emily's age should be 53; Joseph, Charles's brother, is living here and probably stayed until 1872 when he married and moved to Bay City. George Turner may be still in the south as he remained in Tennessee after the war for several years. During which he married his second wife, Sophia Thompson of Georgia, and they had a son, George Edwin. Albert was killed in the Civil War. William was either at Niles or South Bend and Edwin may have moved by now to Chicago. Emily had married and I assume had died by this census. Also a John McFarland and family is listed in this census and he may be a brother to Eliza who married Joseph Turner of Bay City. Eliza was survived by a brother, John |

Also in this census for Saginaw the McFarland family appears and it may be Eliza's brother's family who shows on this census. |

This family would be that of Eliza's brother, Robert, and his family. Eliza may have had another brother, John, and a sister, Maggie. Robert's occupation is Superintendent of Bay City Bridges and there is a notation that he rents his home. (whatever that last part means) Ellen immigrated from Canada in 1865 and is a U.S. citizen (1900) |
