East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / Re: Battle of Dunbar 1650

Bryso, thanks again for your help. The Dinsmore site is very interesting and I will need to spend much more time searching through the many pages of information. I suspect that I may never be able to get Thomas Bruce back to Scotland but it has been an interesting experience thus far.

Thank you for your comments and recommendations. I have checked into the Mormon files and there isn't much there. All roads lead to Thomas Bruce appearing in America sometime after 1650 but there is nothing available indicating where he came from or who his parents were. I will take your advise and look into the DUNBAR COMMUNITY WEBSITE.

Thank you for your reply. I do have a copy of their marriage certificate and they were united in marrage on March 19th 1876 in St. Mary's parish in South Shields.

England / Clarke Census Look up
« on: Friday 28 January 05 21:44 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for census information for Thomas and Hannah Clarke on either or both the 1871 and 1891 records. I found them on the 1881 census as residing at Haddock St, Westoe, Durham England. He was born in 1856 in Norwich, Norfolk and she was born as Hannah Farrow in South Shields in 1850-51. Their children from the 1881 census were Thomas, age 4, William age 2 and Maria 11 months, all born in Newcastle, Northumberland.

East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / Battle of Dunbar 1650

Does anyone know if there are any records of the surviving prisoners from the Battle of Dunbar that were shipped to various ports around the world? I have come to a dead end in tracing my Bruce relative. Thomas Bruce appeared in the British colonie of Massachusetts in the mid 1600's and there is nothing to indicate how or exactly when he arrived there. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
