This naive picture is still in the family, is of Christian Sutherland Bruce , (in charge of Duchess of Sutherland s Letters etc (?))who married William Bruce (banker) in 1793 . She died in Edinburgh . The death notice is spinned inside the family Bible that James Jefferies now has,
It reads Mrs Bruce died this afternoon 1/11 St Johns Hill 14th May 1820
