    Red face Robert BRUCE of Burravoe

    Hi

    Can anyone help with information on the children of Robert BRUCE of Burravoe, Shetland - Samuel BRUCE born abt 1848 and Adrina BRUCE born abt 1850, both born on Shetland. I believe Adrina married a John HARRISON. Any help would be appreciated! I believe the mother of Samuel and Adrina was Janet WILLIAMSON, the second wife of Robert BRUCE - but I'm not too sure of that.

    Default Robert Bruce

    The 1861 census shows:

    William B Rendall age 42

    Janet B Rendall age 34

    Samuel Bruce age 12

    Adrine Brice age 10


    Looks as if Janet re-married William Rendall.

    Found another entry on the 1871 census (for Shetland)

    William B Rendall
    Janet B Rendall
    Adrina Bruce
    Andrina Williamson age 25, wife's sister.

    So you have it right that Janet's maiden name was Williamson.
