Bryce of Alva Scotland
I need information on David Bryce who migrated to South Australia in 1840. I have quite a bit of history after arrival but am working back to locate parents and his birth details. He married Elisabeth Dawson in 1833, apparently in Alva. They migrated with his brothers John and James and all noted Alva as their place of residence prior to departure. Was he born there? What were his parents' names?
The best place to look is this site
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
it is a pay to view site.
If you search birth pre 1855 with County Stirling but leave Parish as all, if you know roughly how old the three brothers were you can put the dates in give or take a few years either side, there is one David Bryce that comes up between 1800 & 1830, there are also James & John Bryce in the same date range as well, it may show his parents.
You could also search for his marriage the same way the parish record may or may not give you further details, the old records can sometimes just give groom and brides name, parish and date and nothing else, but it's worth a try.
