Canada/Caithness

[zetlander]

Barbara Henderson married Philip Thomas Dorrington in St Catharine Ontario on 2 April 1932.  Philip born in England 1900 - Barbara's birthplace n/k.
To date been unable to find where they are buried. (see earlier post.)

According to Ancestry there is a record of one Barbara Forbes Henderson dying in Wick Caithness in 1985.  According to Ancestry this Barbara was also married on 2 April 1932. 

Is it likely that the Barbara who died in Caithness is one and the same as the one who married in Canada.  If they are one and the same then she must have reverted to her maiden name.  (no record of the burial, of Philip Thomas (or Thomas Philip) in Scotland. 
Or has Ancestry confused things  --  Thanks.

The FIND A GRAVE entry gives the name as Barbara F Bain Henderson - would that not seem unlikely to be yours ?

Thanks 
the 'F Bain' doesn't ring any bells.  I don't think the Caithness one is the one I'm after as the one I'm after had the married name 'Dorrington.'
But it seems odd that the marriage date of the Barbara in Canada has been assigned to the one who died in Caithness.
Perhaps Ancestry got it wrong?

Have you got Barbara's birth certificate ?  If we could find some obits for other members of her family, that may help to unravel the mystery.

Perhaps if we find the Henderso relatives, they may mention Barbara  ?
