Father?
It seems quite plausible that Charles and his brother Robert were sons of Robert Bruce of the Bengal Artillery, who had a daughter Margaret by an Indian woman, which is a well-known story. That Robert Bruce died c.1797. The dates at least appear OK. It is a common name, and there needs to be something fairly solid to conclude that, given that there was another Robert Bruce (died 1814) in Bengal who was a cavalryman.
