Uncertainty
Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. The OCR garbles her grandfather's title and given name. The marriage took place in Maryland, so no Clarke register entry is looked for. The groom's register row is held as an unresolved identity, so no marriage relationship is recorded. She is not linked to Evelyn Turpin or any other Turpin.
