John Murray & Barbara Bruce
« on: Thursday 26 April 18 15:50 BST (UK) »
Looking for information on above couple Barbara Bruce born 1871 Peterhead & John Murray b 1864 Peterhead married 30 Dec 1904 Buchanhaven, Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. He was a widower when he married Barbara and she was 33 yrs and a spinster
See on a tree on Ancestry they went to America don't know if same couple
as they have 2 children born in Pennsylvania 1890/1891
Bit confusing as this person has Barbara's parents right, Peter Bruce & Barbara Buchan and they had other children that went to Canada & USA

Shame but nothing else seemed to fit - the immigration dates were far to early  ???

Have you found death notice or obituary for Peter Buchan (sorry should read Bruce) which might give a clue to Barbara  ???
