I would have thought that you would need to purchase the documents to see what they both say

Ironically there were 4 Peters & 3 Margaret's born in Angus of about the right age.

It's two couples with the same names.

From the IGI, there were nine children born to Peter M(a)cDonald and Margaret Barrie/y
1. George Barrie born 14 Oct 1860 (died 1922)
2. Peter, born 25 June 1862
3. Ronald, born 7 September 1863 (died 1864)
4. Henry William Barrie, born 8 October 1864 (died 1939)
5. James, born 26 February 1865
6. Janet Watson, born 7 June 1867 (died 1875)
7. John Robertson, 9 February 1869 (died 1871)
8. Peter, born 4 June 1870 (died 1926)
9. Ronald, born 26 March 1872 (died 1875)

ColC has found a census with Nos 5, 6 and 8, and here's one, also in Dundee, with Nos 1, 2, 4 and 7

Margaret McDonald 30
George McDonald 10
Peter McDonald 8
Henry Wm McDonald 6
John McDonald 2
which accounts for Nos 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.

So this is the couple married on 25 July 1860, and ColC's first find is the couple married on 9 March 1863.

No 3 had died and No 9 was not yet born. Looking at the dates, I imagine that No 3 belongs to the first family ColC has found, so it would be reasonable to suppose that No 9 also belongs to the same family.

1881 Census: Couple B (married 1863)
Margaret McDonald   widow
James McDonald son 16
Peter McDonald son 10

I have yet to find Couple A (married 1860) in 1881.

There's a death of Peter McDonald, 30, mother's maiden surname Sharp, in Dundee in 1872, so that must be the one from couple B.
