Biography

This profile is part of the Bruce Name Study.

Alexander Bruce was born about 1764 in Aberdeenshire, Scotland (uncertain).

Alexander (20) married Mary Bruce (14) (born about 1770 in Aberdeenshire, Uncertain) in 1785 in Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom (uncertain).

Their daughter was Mary Bruce (~1789–1861).

Research Notes

Unsure if Alexander Bruce and Mary Bruce (nee Bruce) were married, however just connecting them to clarify that Mary (Bruce) Strachan (abt.1789-1861) was not the previously linked Mary (Stevenson) Bruce (abt.1766-), Mary (abt.1789) death cert and record show daughter Mary's mother's maiden name to be Bruce also.
