Hi Mary I checked the 1920 Federal Census and found 5 William Bruce born in Scotland (index is incomplete though). I was not able to find any that had a wife with the name of Helen. Not sure if this will help.... but it looks about right age, location of birth and is a widower. Bruce, William Age: 64 Year: 1920 Birthplace: Scotland Race: White State: Illinois County: Cook Township: Chicago He was living there with a son named William age 31- b. Scotland, daughter Abigail age 26 b. IL, son Frank C. age 22, b. IL, and an aunt (?) Barclay, Abigail age 47 - b. Scotland. It says that William Sr. is a Manager of a Seed Co., William Jr. is an Electrician - Seed Co. , Abigail is a stenographer - Seed Co., Frank is an Electrician for the Electric Co. and Aunt Abigail keeps house for them. Sorry I could not have been more definititve. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Chuderski Webmaster of The American Family Generations http://www.geocities.com/heartland/prairie/5121 Now with over 50 free databases on line and always adding more.

Can anyone identify the parents of William Bruce and siblings outlined below -- or the daughters of Joseph Bruce -- BRUCE. Based on evidence from a letter which appears to be dated Feb1879 and posted from Glasgow, William Bruce appears to have emigrated from Scotland leaving behind a sister Elizabeth (unmarried and living in Belfast), and two brothers married and living in Glasgow. One brother was Joseph, the other is unnamed. Both had children. Joseph had two daughters both married. William Bruce married Ellen Reed (see below) on 6 February 1855 in Germantown, Philadelphia, PA and had two children, William (b. 1859) and Mary Anne (b. 1861). REED. Ellen Reed (b. Nov 1834 and d. c1914) had two sisters and a brother William. A second brother, William Lowell (b. 6 Nov 1835), apparently died in infancy. All emigrated to Philadelphia. One sister married ------ Erskine, and had at least one daughter, Mary. Her other sister, Anne (Margaret Anne), married (1) John Cruckshank living in Kensington, Philadelphia about 1853. At his death she and her son Robert (Cruckshank) moved in with her sister Ellen in 1862. Anne later remarried (2) Adam "Ad" Miller/Millar in 1865 by who she had two children. Her daughter Annie (Anne Mary) married James Rowley McCoach on 6 Jun 1872 and Adam.

Patrick may have resided in Aberdeenshire, Banffshire or both at different times and maybe as far as Fifeshire. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

John Bruce, b. c 1791 in Fermanagh (or Cavan), Ireland m. in Ireland c 1822 to Mary Johnston, b. c 1803 in Fermanagh. There is some evidence to indicate that they immigrated to Canada from Terrycherry (now known as Tullycherry) on June 12, 1840 with their seven children, Thomas, b. c 1819; Robert, b. May 24, 1827; Margaret, b. June 1, 1832; Johnston, b. c 1833; Andrew, b. May 10, 1834; John, b. c 1837; and Jane, b. Oct. 14, 1838. They settled in Cavan, Durham Cty., and John died shortly after arriving. After some years Mary and her family moved to the Devitts Settlement in Cartwright Twp. On her death, she was buried beside her husband in Cavan. No headstones or records can be found. Many of their descendants are buried in the Devitts Cemetery, near Blackstock, Cartwright Twp., Durham Cty. John and Mary were my gggrandparents. I would appreciate connecting with anyone researching this line. Ron Dobson

I am looking for information on the ancestors of: John Bruce: b. March 22, 1756 in Edinburgh, Scotland (possibly Midlothian), d. March 22, 1831 in the district of Orangeburg Co, SC. m. 1788 in Branchville, Orangeburg Co. District, South Carolina to Catherine "Kitty" Rhodes/Rhudes/Roads, Born between 1774 and 1785. Died between 1800 and 1850. Children: Elijah Bruce, b. October 24, 1797 Jane Barbara Bruce, b. August 25, 1799 References: LDS Film # 1985631 -- the patron who submitted the data is/was a practicing Mormon and undoubtedly related to this individual. Unfortunately, the film notes say that there is no further information available, nor is the submitters' name/address available. Further information: This John Bruce may have -- and this is the most tenuous of connections based on speculation only -- been a graduate of Oxford. I found one John Bruce from Midlothian, Scotland, listed as a graduate of a class in the appropriate period, but have no proof that this is the same person. Any information on Catherine "Kitty" Rhodes would also be useful. Any and all information is greatly appreciated! R. Bruce -- First they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me. -- Paraphrased from Martin Niemöller's 1968 statement before the U.S. Congress
