Hi List I am looking for anyone related to either of the following families. a) In 1881 Laurence Bruce b 1838 Perth was married to Elizabeth ? b 1839 Perth and living at 10 Wardrop Street, Paisley Low Church . They had three children Robert b 1859 Milton Glasgow, Elizabeth b 1862 Paisley and Wm. b 1866 in Paisley. Laurence was an Engineers Pattern Maker as was his son Robert. b) In 1881 David Bruce b 1853 Perth was married to Isabella ? b 1853 Glasgow and living at 2 Stow Place, Paisley Low Church . They had three children George b 1876, Alexander b 1879 and Mary b 1880 all in Paisley. David Bruce was an Engineers Patternmaker. I believe the Father of the Laurence and David Bruce mentioned was a George Bruce who married a Helen Mather in Redgorton, Perth in Jan 1827. They had several other children Margaret , Peter, Thomas, William , Ann, John , James and Helen. My wife ( a McKinney) is descended from John Bruce who married a Hannah Williamson in Yarm in Yorkshire. We know that subsequent generations of Bruce lived in Barrhead but have lost contact. Are you one of those families or know of them? We have a small photo of Bruces at Barrhead if you are connected please let me know off list and I will send you a copy in Jpg format. Other later generations had connections to a Bob Jamieson who had some sort of foundry or metal working factory in the Barrhead area. Other names connected to the family in later generations are STARK , WILKINSON AND McKINNEY. Hoping to hear from anyone with info Mike
