I have marked in red the 4 that I consider have accusative markings

Mardin şehri [şehir+i] (Mardin´s city) note that the first ´i´ is dropped once a vowel is added. This happens to some nouns, and they are called apocopating nouns. 

read more about it here

The accusative suffix is then added using the special ´n´ buffer letter, used only after the 3rd person singular possessed suffix [şehri + n + i = şehrini]

Dedemin sağlığı (my grandfather´s health) is a genitive construction

We agree about elmayı, Mardin´işehrini and bebeği.

 

Please notice that sometimes 3rd person possessive suffix resembles accusative ending. So it is not enough that it looks like accusative, there also has to be a reason for the use of accusative.

This could be the lesson of the day... Thanks Henry
