FRASERBURGH. This morning George Heinen, 38, native of Germany, but many years resident in Fraserburgh, was killed by the falling of a hand crane at Fraserburgh Harbour Works
per the Edinburgh Evening News, July 1st 1897. Also reported in the Peterhead Sentinel on the 6th. Aberdeen Journal says he left a widow and six children, which fits with finds on this thread.
-
Aberdeen Press and Journal in November 1897, reports a settlement to Margaret and the children, totalling £350, for George's death.

George jnr seems to have emigrated to America. Travelled onboard the Furnessia in 1910. Address before leaving, 15 Shore Street, Fraserburgh.

That's right just coming to the family George Jnr married Margaret Buchanan had 2 children Margaret B 1915 and Barbara 1920 - 1978 not sure what he did in USA I've got Margaret marrying Warren Byron Phillips and Barbara marrying Herbert John Bloomquist from Ancestry
George Jnr brother Ludwig Andrew was in Royal Navy WW1 then went to America in 1922 on Ancestry he's on Tunisian (Steamship) address 13 Shore Street, Fraserburgh Occ Fishcurer it appears he died in 1976 Coventry, England

About Buchans:
http://www.buchansbread.com/
George and Lizzy Buchan brought their two children, George B. and Elizabeth, to the United States in April 1902. George, a baker, had decided to leave Scotland and relocate his family. He worked as a baker in Lowell, MA, before heading west and finally settling in North Seattle in 1906. He found work in the not-so-nearby Buckley as a baker, commuting to work by train and returning home on the weekends. Eventually, he saved enough to start his own retail bakery in downtown Seattle around 1919
-
That's very interesting about his employment and working at Buchan's Bakery wonder who they were?
probably form the Fraserburgh area
-
Isn't it George's own business?

I hope this helps, if not, the delete button can be a wonderful tool.
My grandfather was George B Buchan (1895-1971), with sisters Elizabeth and Bella, and was married to Edith Warren (1985-1990). My great grandfather was George Buchan, who founded the bakery, and was married to Elizabeth Morris. His brothers were Sandy, John, William, Andrew, Peter, and James (sorry, I previously stated fewer brothers). I have a message into cousin Bruce with a better database of dates.
-
I haven't got James so interesting to know what happened to him

Cousin Bruce responded:
"Apparently, our great grandfather had a sister, the mystery Mary you have below. She fits the right time period and she never left Scotland, which would probably explain why I never heard of her. A quick jump into somebody’s family tree on Ancestry.Com shows her in the family. Lot of times there are wrong entries on people’s family trees especially when they paste other people’s mistakes on their trees, but usually the mistakes aren’t when they list brothers and sisters.
Which brings me to Elizabeth Mary Buchan, 1874-1973. She appears to be a combination of our great-grandmother Lizzie, wife of George, who was born 1874, and Aunt Elizabeth, who died 1973. I think we would have heard of a 99-year-old in the family."
-
Seems you could be right about Elizabeth Mary can't see her on census have e-mailed somebody who has her on Ancestry waiting reply
What I do have is death cert of Mary b 1881 d 1914 she died in Royal Asylum in Aberdeen aged 33yrs
-
Elizabeth Mary mentioned was my husband's gt grandmother. She never left St Combs she did marry and had one daughter my husband's grandmother on his maternal side of the family
