Research Note

According to https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~glanville/genealogy/families/langley%20turner.html in the 1894 will of Alfred John Langley, he referred to his sister Mrs Elizabeth Turner of Epsom, Auckland, New Zealand which looks to match her. That page makes a further reference to the marriage notice of Elizabeth's daughter, Elizabeth who married Thomas Hallett in 1881, stating that the newspaper reported she was the eldest daughter of the late Mr Donald Turner of Brooklyn, United States, but that no other records were found.
