hi Smid
welcome to rootschat :)
might be difficult to find anymore info. at least till the 1911 census comes out
how old was davids mother in 1898/1901 ?(38 in 1901 ? born where ?)
was bruce annie's maiden name or a married surname ?
have you found a death certificate for her ?
perhaps david signed her death certificate :-\
one small point , newtyle actually comes under angus in 1898/1901 on scotlandspeople(although i thought it was in perthshire)

Hello ev
Thanks for the reply and the welcome, I do have all the info on Annie Bruce (MS) but no David anywhere (1911 census can't come soon enough) his 1/2 sister later had a son called David Taylor Bruce Leslie. I have been looking at the CWGC site and there are a few (David Bruce) listed but no mention of Annie as next of kin.

Hi, yes I know but the family were only around Newtyle around 1901 (as far as I know) by WW1 could have been anywhere as they were farm workers.

Hello
Still looking for David and the rest of his family, 1911 census no help. by then they should show up in Kirriemuir the 1911 valuation roll has William (grandfather) listed but can't find them in the census.
