The photo posted by jinks is of the Daring Class destroyer HMS Delight, launched 1950. I have attached a photo HMS Delight which was sunk off Portland Bill in 1940.

World War Two / Re: Royal Marines Engineers Record
« on: Friday 01 August 14 20:43 BST (UK)  »
Not sure if Det 410 refers to being detached to Landing Craft 410 - from RM Museum info:
Training Flotillas
These initially were all manned by seamen rates, although at Eastney in Portsmouth, there were craft in 1940 manned by Marines for training purposes. In 1943 RN officers and ratings continued to carry out the major part of the crews’ instruction but by the end of World War II there were RM training staffs, with flotillas of various types of landing craft, including the following: 400 to 435 (incl 410), 437 and 490 of 1945. In a typical change over to RM staff, 235 RM LCP Flotilla relieved the training staff of RN Training Flotilla 188 as early as 18 June 1943. Some training flotillas also served in operations as Ancillary flotillas.

Hello Alex and many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, still no further forward with my search. I have copied your post to another Bryce researcher on my line, also resident in New Zealand, and hope she can find a common link between our trees. I am sure we have looked at the James Bryce and Agnes Woods families in the past, but discounted them. However, my record keeping isn't the best so I await a reply from New Zealand to discount or confirm my thoughts.
There are a lot of common names between the two trees, but our ancestors may have deliberately gone that route to confuse us ;D

Many thanks for your help Mo.
It has taken quite a while to establish that Robert was born at Airdrie, but it is now proving more difficult to find his parents and siblings.
Will check out the link.

Looking for information on Robert Bryce born c1811 at Airdrie. He married Agness Jinkin at St Ninian in 1828 and the 1851 census lists them at St Ninian as
Agness Bryce m. Robert b.1811 St. Ninian, Stirling wife
David Bryce b.1850 Govan Lanark son
James Bryce b.1836 St. Ninian, Stirling,son
John Bryce b.1831 St. Ninian, Stirling, son
Margaret Bryce b. 1846 St. Ninian, Stirling, son
Robert Bryce b.1810 Andrie, Lanark, Head
Robert Bryce b.1834 St. Ninian, Stirling, son
William Bryce b. 1841 St. Ninian, Stirling, son

Robert died at Southwick, Sunderland in 1876 and most of his sons were Iron Shipbuilders who worked on the rivers Tyne, Wear and Tees, as well as at Barrow in Furness and Pembroke Dock/Haverfordwest in Wales.

Whilst Robert may have been born in Airdrie, there may also be links with Coatbridge (note David was born at Govan in 1850) and I would be interested in finding his parents and siblings.

One possible link could be to this family:
James Bryce married Agnes Wood in 1799 in Lanark. They had a large family, all seem to have been born in the same area of Lanarkshire: Jean 1799, John 1801, Janet 1803, William 1804, Agnes 1806, James 20 02 1808, Thomas 05 11 1809, Robert 01 06 1811, David 02 11 1813, Margaret 20 08 1815, George 1817, Alexander 06 09 1812 and Helen 03 08 1821 a second Alexander 19 10 1818.

I believe the only link with St Ninian is the marriage to Agness and I don't believe that Robert was, as far as I can gather at present, related to another, well documented, Bryce family in St Ninian.

Grateful for any information.
