I have a lot of information about the above gentleman but i have reached an impass on his grandfather.
according to a newspaper obituary from the John o groats alexander was a well respected farmerfrom Rangag. he died in 1945 and was married to the daughter john Macdonald who was also a farmer and it was this farm he took over. alexanders mother was a jessie or janet bruce who was married to peter sutherland of forse.
my main interest is in alexanders grandfather and uncle.
jessie's brother was my great grandfather and he was col sergent john bruce of 92nd gordan highlanders. he was born in 1850 in force. his father was alexander bruce. however it appears that john was brought up in his uncle james bruce's house in blackcroft latheron. what i am stuck on is john's father alexander. i would be grateful for any info anyone has about the above people. it appears that there a hundreds of bruces and sutherland in the caithnes area! please feel free to contact me on my email.
