George Bruce
Trying to trace what happened to George Bruce b. 21 Jan 1868 Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Mo. Mary Ann Bruce aka Lawrie. On 2 Dec. 1890 he married Mary Wright. In 1901 Census in Aberdeen he was described as - 33, railway carter. George Bruce arrived in US in 1905. He signed up with Canadian Army in WW1 and at one point was billeted back in Aberdeen, very close to his family home - a photograph records George and Mary at this point. He was described as alive and a stone polisher in his son Alexander’s marriage certificate in 1922. (In the 1930 USA Federal Census there is a George Bruce, 44, bo. Abt 1886 Scotland as a Lodger at Barre, Washington, Vermont - but no knowledge if this is same person. The age is wrong.) The family who remained in Scotland have no knowledge of what happened to him.
