Answer 3

A  Margaret Elizabeth Turnbull  was christened at Christchurch Newcastle in 1878 (possibly making her about 15 in 1893 which is a 'normal age for confirmation) England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N6V6-78K : accessed 21 February 2016), Margaret Elizabeth Turnbull, 26 May 1878; citing Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland, England, reference item 5 p 246; FHL microfilm 1,469,115

Answer 6

A confirmation in 1893 would suggest a birth between 1870 & 1881.

In Northumberland there were two births of a Margaret Elizabeth Turnbull, 1877 & 1878 in Newcastle upon Tyne. Doug has listed one potential candidate while the another I have listed seperately, living in Berwick upon Tweed in 1881, the daughter of Michael & Christina. Doug's candidate is the more likely, especially if she married Thomas William Plews.
