She married Frederick William Edney iin Australia. Oral family history, which no one believes, is that she was a niece of Lord Bruce of Scotland!!!! I have no other information than my grandmothers handwritten family tree with the aove notes. Maggie Edney nee Bruce would have been my grandmother's aunt by marriage. There is probably no connection at all but similarity of dates and two orphans. regards Robyn Gross Wodonga AUSTRALIA
