William Buchanan 1840

[Holum]

Hello from Norway.
Any knowledge about Buchanan family.
Can this be the right one, but did William die soon after his marriage Cathrine Donovan and birth of a son John? Then Cathrine did marry Owen Murray i 1867 as a widow and renamed her son Murray?

Can I find them in a census to se that I have the correct family.
This is my wifes family :-)

PS I have ordered a Marriage cert for Owen and Cathrine to Norway but that takes 2-3 weeks :-)

There's a possible marriage in Gateshead Fell 1839 which would need viewing, from a transcription Durham marriages

William Buchanan married Ann Hunter 16 Mar 1839

Possible death for William 1861 age 74  age doesn't match the census

Possible death for Ann 1867 age 69 again the age doesn't match the census

The baptism of the children also gives their birth dates

Hannah 22 October 1839

William 7 June 1840

I was looking at the burials for Bishopwearmouth, that William I can add was a mariner and was in the workhouse when he died???

Ann 1867 I can rule out, she was married to a musician; haven't got very far 1871.
