Hi,
I'm looking for information on Jane Wride's (nee Spence) parents, JAMES SPENCE & JANE CHRISTIE. Jane Wride (nee Spence) was born abt 1869 in Glasgow and married George Wride in 1889 in Brisbane, Qld. I'm trying to work out who her grandparents are as I keep getting conflicting results.
Thanks in advance :)
