Thanks Liz, will have bash at our library,
BTW looking at the census original , the " Grill" is written in the box for the wife, so maybe its just "James Bruce, carmen contractors" I am looking for?
in the sons' box it is also just "James Bruce"

Perhaps the library local to the area would hold records, or be able to tell you where they are kept - our local history centre has Kellys and Trade Directories.
