Bruce connections

[ShaneNZ]

Have a new/old family relative. Johanna McGrath born 1836 (somewhere in Scotland) married Jonathon Bruce from county Offaly Ireland ( Kings County) 16th Feb 1857 aged 21.
The family sailed to New Zealand on the Eastern Monarch on the 7th May 1874.
The only record I have of Johanna Bruce (nee McGrath) is from "Scotland" on the cemetery record here in NZ.
Would anyone be able to tell me where Johanna came from in Scotland. Thank you Shane in NZ.

Nothing on the 1841 Scottish census

Do you have this certificate? A parent’s name would be useful.

Did they have children in England? I am not seeing any on GRO.

I can’t see them on the UK censuses after marriage.

I was hoping to find possible clues to her parents through children’s names.

Have found the immigration, listing the children:

Added: Or is that just other ‘Bruce’ and not their children?

Hello Jamjar. Couldn't find anything of being remarried. Yes mentioned place of birth on cemetery record as being "Scotland" but that's all. Thanks Shane
