Rowland & everyone on list: Does anyone have BRUCE's in Co Mayo, Ireland? William BRUCE b. Jan 1828 Tourlough, Co Mayo, Ireland Farmer md Margaret "Maggie" SHAW 1857 She was b. Jul 1834 Ireland 7 Children: 1. John b 4 Mar 1858 Tourlough, Co Mayo, Ireland 2. Annie b. 12 Nov 1860 Tourlough md John LUDLOW 12 Oct 1892 Huron Co, MI 3. William b. 25 Dec 1862/1863 Tourlough md Rosanna LUDLOW 10 Apr 1890 Huron Co, MI (sister of John) 4. Andrew b. 6 May 1864 Tourlough 5. George G. b. 5 Sep 1866 Castlebar, Co Mayo, Ireland md Mary FREMONT 12 Mar 1889 Port Hope, Huron Co, MI (My Great-grandparents) 6. Andrew James b.1 Nov 1872 Huron Co, MI md Ellen LUDLOW 29 Mar 1898 Huron Co, MI 7. Robert b. 21 May 1875 Huron Co, MI md Frances Unk in 1906 William & Margaret were on the 1880 Huron Co, MI Census & also the 1900 Huron Co, MI Census showing they immigrated in 1870 & on the first census says both sets of their parents were from Ireland while the 1900 census says Maggie's were from Ireland & Scotland. So unsure about that. But this seems to indicate that the BRUCE's were in Ireland from at least early 1800's to 1870. Possibly the LUDLOW & SHAW families also. Anyone have any information on Irish BRUCE's?? If the naming pattern is any indication William's father may have been John & Maggie's father could have been Andrew. Mary Finlay (ErtlTrtl@aol.com)
