Hi all ,

Have you checked the original 1871 Census ?

Using the index at Scotlandspeople I've found -
St Nicholas Aberdeen
Mary Walker age 28(born c1843) , with second persons Alexandrina Walker age 5 , Mary Walker age 3 , Andrew Walker age 1.

The children's ages would seem to match with these references -

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XYGK-8X9
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XYT4-J4P

The marriage certificate should help in confirming Mary Bruce's age.

So , are we looking for a Mary Bruce born c1843 not c1833 ?

Think it may be your family as they are living at Park Lane Aberdeen in the 1841 census and have all children plus William Walker born 1835 living with the.
