Silly mistake the guy she trained under was Charles Rennie Mackintosh Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Trowsdale" <rmtrowsdale@totalise.co.uk> To: <SCT-RENFREW-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 8:58 PM Subject: [Renfrew] BRUCE / JAMIESON > I know its like looking for a particular grain of sand on a beach but I am looking for a Bruce family from Barrhead / Paisley area. In 1846 John Bruce was born - he subsequently went south of the border and eventually married a Hannah W Williamson from Pocklington in Yorkshire. They were married in Yarm in 9th Oct 1872 and subsequently had 5 children - mainly in the Newcastle on Tyne area. > > We know that the Bruce family came from Barrhead / Paisley area and their 4th child Laura Bruce was born at 4 Prussia Street Paisley in 1879. We assume this is the address of a relative possibly parents? The John Bruce family returned to Newcastle area after that. > > Part of the same family but later say in 1920-30 were sisters Mina(Mima?) and Isa(Isabel?) Bruce living in Paisley / Barrhead area. Mina Bruce trained under John Rennie McIntosh and married a Bob Jamieson who had some sort of foundry in the Barrhead area. > > We have photos (not very large) of some of the later Bruces if anyone feels they may know of the family please contact me off list and I will send. > > Does any of this ring any bells to anyone. > > Trying to find a particular John Bruce on the http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ is going to bankrupt me before I find the right family.
