What does it say on his death entry as to his parents names?

If it's any help he is living at Clyne from 1841 - 1881.

looks the same.
My great granfather ( mothers side)  Robert married to Ann Murray in Tain 1885. His father Donald married to Mary Murray. Also from Ann Murray father George Murray mother Catherine Bannerman M. 1857.
I have no names of brothers or sisters from Robert or dates from Donald his father. The tree I ham working from was given to me by my mother.

How can we share tree info?

Interested to have your reply. Would love to know where you are conducting your research from. I am not directly related to the Bruces's but have acquired a lot of information on Sutherland family trees from a good friend who has now passed away. I will be contactable on tomstree at btinternet.com if you would like to hear more.

I am looking for information on Donald Bruce (1787-1835) who married Ann Matheson(1790-1859). Their daughter Mary Bruce has Native of Sutherlandshire Scotland on her gravestone. I know they moved from Scotland to Truro, Canada with their 11 children. Any information is appreciated.  Thanks,
