I am carrying out family research.
My great, great, great grandfather and mother (James Bruce and Jane (Jean) Cassie were
married in Old Deer on the 13 July 1801.
They had a child, Richard Bruce, on 12 August 1807 and he was baptised in the Parish
Church on the 29 August 1807.
James Bruce farmed in the Aikey Brae area.
They also had two other children
~ George Bruce born 2 May 1802 in Old Deer.
~ James Bruce born 17 June 1804 in Old Deer.
Richard Bruce left Old Deer and married an Esther Kitching in Norton, Yorkshire on 11
February 1841 when he was 33 years old, following which he moved to York where he was a
coachman.
By 1861 he was a publican running The Grey Horse Inn in Elvington, near York.
They both died in York in 1870.
They had three children, John James Bruce 1843, Richard Charles Bruce 1846 and Mary Ann
Bruce in 1853.
All information and family links to this family much appreciated.
