Good Morning from New Zealand

Thank you all for your interest and assistance.  It is a marvellous find.

I am absolutely delighted .. over the moon .. as it has been a long road to locate Robert Bryce.

Normally I do not approve of using the scatter gun approach of posts on multiple forums.  It was remiss of me not to advise of this post (was overlooked and not intended)on the other board and I apologize.

Again my appreciation.

As he was a pauper there may be poor relief records about his family/dependants. Also, there may be admission records to the Asylum & medical records held by the local health authority. Maybe someone more familiar with Glasgow can advise you of this.

I have not considered these records yet.  A good number of Roots Chat members have been following this thread and assisting me.  For that I am very grateful and I do not wish to impose on others any further.

Actually a good idea that it is to look further into the "Poor relief records" I do have sufficient information to complete this family record for the moment.

It is very sad that Robert Bryce ended up a pauper in these circumstances giving that his son John seemed to be relatively successful in life and provided for his mother Isabella when she died in 1891.

Again I am very satisfied and appreciative of the effort provided to me.
