Member Since: August 2009 Posts: 8 Send Message	Married name Watmore. I am trying to trace her farher's line/ He married an Eleanor (also named Bruce) in North Shields. He died in 1841. He may have origininated from Scorland. Does anyone have any more accurate details.I would be very grateful to be able to trace the Bruce line further back. These were my great grandparents who settled in Morpeth. Many thanks. Tina King (nee Charlton - from Watson/Watmore families)
