James Spence & Jane Christie

[nbourkie]

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, Australia. I'm trying to work out when they immigrated and who her grandparents are as I keep getting conflicting results.

Thanks in advance
Naomi

I suggest you get the 1864 M/C available on Scotlandspeople

Also look at the 1871 Census on there as I think Joseph W Spence is likely Isabella. Anc as you know does not have the image to check.

her sister named Isabella McDonald Spence
