My great granfather ( mothers side) Robert married to Ann Murray in Tain 1885. His father Donald married to Mary Murray. Also from Ann Murray father George Murray mother Catherine Bannerman M. 1857.
I have no names of brothers or sisters from Robert or dates from Donald his father. The tree I ham working from was given to me by my mother.
How can we share tree info?

Interested to have your reply. Would love to know where you are conducting your research from. I am not directly related to the Bruces's but have acquired a lot of information on Sutherland family trees from a good friend who has now passed away. I will be contactable on tomstree at btinternet.com if you would like to hear more.

I am looking for information on Donald Bruce (1787-1835) who married Ann Matheson(1790-1859). Their daughter Mary Bruce has Native of Sutherlandshire Scotland on her gravestone. I know they moved from Scotland to Truro, Canada with their 11 children. Any information is appreciated. Thanks,
-
There's a baptism on scotlandspeople for a Mary Bruce, daughter of Donal Bruce and Ann Matheson listed in Kildonan, Sutherland on 2nd April 1815. That fits with the dates you have for her parents.
The marriage was on 8th January 1807 in Kildonan, but the parents' names are not listed.
-
For the avoidance of doubt, on the marriage entry in 1807 neither Donald's nor Ann's parents are named. I'm not sufficiently familiar with the area in 1807 to identify the township addresses.

Thank you for your information. Every bit of info is appreciated.
