The only Seymour's &#x3C;BR&#x3E;I do have are 3, Sophia and &#x3E; her father Benjamin in London and a very &#x3C;BR&#x3E;recent addition in 1975 Philip &#x3E; James from York, England.&#x3E; &#x3E; I am not too &#x3C;BR&#x3E;far from Sunderland and my eldest daughter lives in Sacriston &#x3E; just outside &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Durham city. Takes us about 55mins to get up there. We live in &#x3E; the Tees &#x3C;BR&#x3E;valley, Middlesbrough, Cleveland, once part of North Yorkshire. My &#x3E; Great &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Grand Father, Henry Seymour WYATT came from West Ham in London between &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;1901 and 1904 when my Gran, his daughter married my Grand dad, David Dixon &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;SADLER in Guisbro, Yorkshire. They changed their name from WYATT to Gran's &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;maiden name WINCHESTER and the children married in that name. Henry isn't on &#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3E; the 1901 census however, Great Gran and their children are living with &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Great &#x3E; Gran's sister and husband in London. We think he may have been in &#x3C;BR&#x3E;some &#x3E; trouble and this is why he went to Guisborough and changed the family &#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3E; name?????&#x3E; &#x3E; I can't get any further back from Benjamin though??&#x3E; &#x3E; Please &#x3C;BR&#x3E;do keep in touch.

I remain a &#x3E; &#x3E; sceptic.&#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; Sincerely,&#x3E; Roy &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3E; -------------------------------&#x3E; &#x3E; To &#x3E; unsubscribe from &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; the list, &#x3C;BR&#x3E;please send an email to &#x3E; &#x3E; CLAN-BRUCE-request@rootsweb.com with the &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;word 'unsubscribe' without &#x3E; &#x3E; the quotes in the subject and the body of the &#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; message&#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;_________________________________________________________________&#x3E; &#x3E; Win 100&#x92;s &#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; of Virgin Experience days with BigSnapSearch.com&#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;http://www.bigsnapsearch.com&#x3E; &#x3E; -------------------------------&#x3E; To &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;CLAN-BRUCE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; quotes in the subject and the body of the message&#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; -- &#x3E; No virus &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;found &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; in this incoming message.&#x3E; Checked by AVG.&#x3E; Version: 7.5.519 / &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Virus &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; Database: 269.22.5/1356 - Release Date: 4/2/2008 &#x3E; 4:14 PM&#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; -------------------------------&#x3E; To unsubscribe from the list, &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;please send &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; an email to CLAN-BRUCE-request@rootsweb.com with the word &#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3E; 'unsubscribe' &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; without the quotes in the subject and the body of the &#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3E; message&#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;_________________________________________________________________&#x3E; Get &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Hotmail on your mobile.

The only Seymour's I do have are 3, Sophia and &#x3E; her father Benjamin in London and a very recent addition in 1975 Philip &#x3E; James from York, England.&#x3E; &#x3E; I am not too far from Sunderland and my eldest daughter lives in Sacriston &#x3E; just outside Durham city. Takes us about 55mins to get up there. We live in &#x3E; the Tees valley, Middlesbrough, Cleveland, once part of North Yorkshire. My &#x3E; Great Grand Father, Henry Seymour WYATT came from West Ham in London between &#x3E; 1901 and 1904 when my Gran, his daughter married my Grand dad, David Dixon &#x3E; SADLER in Guisbro, Yorkshire. They changed their name from WYATT to Gran's &#x3E; maiden name WINCHESTER and the children married in that name. Henry isn't on &#x3E; the 1901 census however, Great Gran and their children are living with Great &#x3E; Gran's sister and husband in London. We think he may have been in some &#x3E; trouble and this is why he went to Guisborough and changed the family &#x3E; name?????&#x3E; &#x3E; I can't get any further back from Benjamin though??&#x3E; &#x3E; Please do keep in touch. I like hearing from other researchers. Take care.&#x3E; &#x3E; Many regards.&#x3E; Val.&#x3E; &#x3E; Please read, no response required.

The only Seymour's I do have are 3, Sophia and &#x3C;BR&#x3E;her father Benjamin in London and a very recent addition in 1975 Philip &#x3C;BR&#x3E;James from York, England.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;I am not too far from Sunderland and my eldest daughter lives in Sacriston &#x3C;BR&#x3E;just outside Durham city. Takes us about 55mins to get up there. We live in &#x3C;BR&#x3E;the Tees valley, Middlesbrough, Cleveland, once part of North Yorkshire. My &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Great Grand Father, Henry Seymour WYATT came from West Ham in London between &#x3C;BR&#x3E;1901 and 1904 when my Gran, his daughter married my Grand dad, David Dixon &#x3C;BR&#x3E;SADLER in Guisbro, Yorkshire. They changed their name from WYATT to Gran's &#x3C;BR&#x3E;maiden name WINCHESTER and the children married in that name. Henry isn't on &#x3C;BR&#x3E;the 1901 census however, Great Gran and their children are living with Great &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Gran's sister and husband in London. We think he may have been in some &#x3C;BR&#x3E;trouble and this is why he went to Guisborough and changed the family &#x3C;BR&#x3E;name?????&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;I can't get any further back from Benjamin though??&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;Please do keep in touch.

<description>Hi Kate,&#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Can you be a bit more specific as to who you mean. I have updated my ancestry site in the last week. If you give me some names and events I can help you better. Please get back soon.&#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Many regards&#x3C;BR&#x3E;Val. Please read, no response required. I suffer from ME/Chronic fatigue syndrome, Fibromyalgia and arthritis so my energy levels are often very low. Please do not stop contacting me as I love to hear from family and friends. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

I have Bruces in my tree. The first one I found was Catherine &#x3E; Bruce, baptised in 1649. Her parents were Robert Bruce of Auchenbowie and&#x3E; Jonet Cowan. Robert's parents were another Robert Bruce of Auchenbowie and &#x3E; Elizabeth Halliburtonne. We know that the Bruces of Auchenbowie were linked&#x3E; to the Bruces of Airth and they in turn linked with the Bruces of &#x3E; Clackmannon. These particular Bruces claim a direct descent from a a &#x3E; co-lateral line from the King Robert de Bruce so possibly I do have a &#x3E; distant connection too.&#x3E; In the Dictionary of National Biography there is an enormous amount of &#x3E; information about the line of Robert Bruces which eventually led to the &#x3E; King. (Incidentally it is not a direct line. There is a sideways step in &#x3E; the 12th century).&#x3E; King Robert had no sons from his first marriage. His son David, from his &#x3E; second marriage succeeded him as David II. (There was another son John who &#x3E; died in infancy.) David had no children so he was succeeded by another &#x3E; Robert, son of the daughter Marjorie from King Robert's first marriage. But &#x3E; this was the beginning of the House of Stuart. There were no more &#x3E; legitimate Bruces in a direct line.&#x3E; I looked at some of the links on your email and I am very puzzled about the &#x3E; second one to Ancestry. This has reference to some information to other &#x3E; English lines of my family and my husbands and as far as I can see has no&#x3E; connection with Scotland. I can't see any of these names occuring on your &#x3E; website. Am I perhaps missing something?&#x3E; &#x3E; Hope to hear from you soon.&#x3E; Kate Badrick&#x3E; ----- Original Message ----- &#x3E; From: &#x22;Val Heath&#x22; &#x3C;radientlady@hotmail.com&#x3E;&#x3E; To: &#x3C;clan-bruce@rootsweb.com&#x3E;&#x3E; Sent: Saturday, April 05, 2008 12:12 PM&#x3E; Subject: Re: [CLAN-BRUCE] King Robert de Bruce.&#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; &#x3E; Hi Annette,&#x3E; &#x3E; Thats a long time.

<description>Hi Annette,&#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;That is really interesting. The only Seymour's I do have are 3, Sophia and her father Benjamin in London and a very recent addition in 1975 Philip James from York, England.&#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;I am not too far from Sunderland and my eldest daughter lives in Sacriston just outside Durham city. Takes us about 55mins to get up there. We live in the Tees valley, Middlesbrough, Cleveland, once part of North Yorkshire. My Great Grand Father, Henry Seymour WYATT came from West Ham in London between 1901 and 1904 when my Gran, his daughter married my Grand dad, David Dixon SADLER in Guisbro, Yorkshire. They changed their name from WYATT to Gran's maiden name WINCHESTER and the children married in that name. Henry isn't on the 1901 census however, Great Gran and their children are living with Great Gran's sister and husband in London. We think he may have been in some trouble and this is why he went to Guisborough and changed the family name????? &#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;I can't get any further back from Benjamin though??&#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Please do keep in touch. I like hearing from other researchers. Take care. &#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Many regards.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;Val. &#x3C;BR&#x3E; &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Please read, no response required. I suffer from ME/Chronic fatigue syndrome, Fibromyalgia and arthritis so my energy levels are often very low. Please do not stop contacting me as I love to hear from family and friends. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

<description>Hi Val,&#x3C;BR&#x3E;I have been following the series oe emials on the above subject with some &#x3C;BR&#x3E;interest.  I have Bruces in my tree.  The first one I found was Catherine &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Bruce, baptised in 1649.  Her parents were Robert Bruce of Auchenbowie and&#x3C;BR&#x3E;Jonet Cowan. Robert's parents were another Robert Bruce of Auchenbowie and &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Elizabeth Halliburtonne. We know that the Bruces of Auchenbowie were linked&#x3C;BR&#x3E;to the Bruces of Airth and they in turn linked with the Bruces of &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Clackmannon.  These particular Bruces claim a direct descent from a a &#x3C;BR&#x3E;co-lateral line from the King Robert de Bruce so possibly I do have a &#x3C;BR&#x3E;distant connection too.&#x3C;BR&#x3E; In the Dictionary of National Biography  there is an enormous amount of &#x3C;BR&#x3E;information about the line of Robert Bruces which eventually led to the &#x3C;BR&#x3E;King.  (Incidentally it is not a direct line. There is a sideways step in &#x3C;BR&#x3E;the 12th century).&#x3C;BR&#x3E;King Robert had no sons from his first marriage.  His son David, from his &#x3C;BR&#x3E;second marriage succeeded him as David II.  (There was another son John who &#x3C;BR&#x3E;died in infancy.) David had no children so he was succeeded by another &#x3C;BR&#x3E;Robert, son of the daughter Marjorie from King Robert's first marriage. But &#x3C;BR&#x3E;this was the beginning of the House of Stuart.  There were no more &#x3C;BR&#x3E;legitimate Bruces in a direct line.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;I looked at some of the links on your email and I am very puzzled about the &#x3C;BR&#x3E;second one to Ancestry.  This has reference to some information to other &#x3C;BR&#x3E;English lines of my family and my husbands and as far as I can see has no&#x3C;BR&#x3E;connection with Scotland.  I can't see any of these names occuring on your &#x3C;BR&#x3E;website.  Am I perhaps missing something?&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;Hope to hear from you soon.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;Kate Badrick&#x3C;BR&#x3E;----- Original Message ----- &#x3C;BR&#x3E;From: &#x22;Val Heath&#x22; &#x3C;radientlady@hotmail.com&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;To: &#x3C;clan-bruce@rootsweb.com&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;Sent: Saturday, April 05, 2008 12:12 PM&#x3C;BR&#x3E;Subject: Re: [CLAN-BRUCE] King Robert de Bruce.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;Hi Annette,&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;Thats a long time.

<description>Hi Chris.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;How are you.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;I have some info for you, if you would like to look at.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;I have a royal background also.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E;From Annette.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;----- Original Message ----- &#x3C;BR&#x3E;From: &#x3C;rainbowcouk@aol.co.uk&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;To: &#x3C;clan-bruce@rootsweb.com&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 8:25 AM&#x3C;BR&#x3E;Subject: Re: [CLAN-BRUCE] King Robert de Bruce.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; Hi everyone,&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; I'm an Englishman, proud of my Scots ancestry - one of my grandfathers was &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; a lowland Scot, Robert Bolt, son of a Shetlander. Bolt is a Shetland name, &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; and through them I have Shetland Fordyce ancestry. The Shetland Fordyce's &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; are said to be descended from Lawrence Bruce, Sheriff of Shetland, who &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; built Muness Castle in Shetland around 1600. The evidence for the Fordyce &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; descent from Bruce seems limited, but certainly Lawrence Bruce was &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; descended from the family of Robert The Bruce (and therefore the some of &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; the Kings of Scotland, and Saxon English Kings, including Alfred the &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; Great.)&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; It seems likely that all Shetland Bruces are descended from Lawrence Bruce &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; of Muness, and therefore his more famous ancestors. Many Shetlanders &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; settled in Leith in Edinburgh, which was mentioned by Roy.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; Also, with Bruce being a Clan name, is it not true that all Bruces are &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; descended from the first Bruce from Normandy, although not necessarily &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; being able to prove the descent generation by generation? (Just as most &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; Englishmen are descended from William&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; The Conqueror)&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; I don't think I can claim descent from Robert the Bruce's family, but? &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; think it is not an unreasonable claim for anyone whose surname is Bruce, &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; or who has any certain Bruce ancestry. However, as mentioned, proving it &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; generation by generation is another matter.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; Finally, I think I'm right in saying that Robert The Bruce had no known &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; children, so the interest is in descent from the earlier Bruce's and the &#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; Scots and Saxon Kings.&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; Chris&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; Chris Arms&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x3E; ________________________________________
