robert bruce

Hello,
My name is raymond bruce from australia.I am trying to find some information about my GG Grandfather Robert Bruce.Roberts son my Great Grandfather James Edward Bruce death certificate states he was born 1843 IOM he lived around london married twice and came to australia with his family and died in fremantle WA On his death certificate it states that his father was robert bruce and mother Ann Cowley we have hit a brick wall here although we can find various references to bruces that are close we have trouble matching and cannot find any referece to a birth or marriage between them.
perhaps someone doing COWLEY research can add something to my research
