Hi Maureen,
I've had a quick look and the only Michael Rutherford of that age (that I can find) is living with his mother and there are no young children in the household.
If you can tell me your Grandmother's name I can try to search for her.
Cheers
Claire :)

Hi Maureen,
Tried again and there are 8 Margaret Rutherfords around the age of 11 living in Co. Durham in 1891! None of which are living with a father called Michael.
I found one who is the eldest of a number of children. Parents were George age 39 born Roxborough, occupation ship joiner and Mary aged 39 born Roxborough, Margaret aged 11 born Roxborough and the other children born in Hebburn (Thomas 9, David 7, George 5 & Christina 3) All living in the Hedworth, Monkton, Jarrow area.
Have you tried to find you Grandmother's birth certificate to establish her mother's name?
Sorry I haven't been much help :(

I suspect the reason why Michael Rutherford cannot be found in 1891 is because of this entry in 1881....
Bishop Auckland RG11/4925 Folio 116 Page 4
Margaret Rutherford Inmate Widow 36 Durham Barnard Castle
Michael do Inmate 12 Scholar Durham St Helens Auckland
Henry do Inmate 11 Scholar Durham St Helens Auckland
Robert do Inmate 8 Scholar Durham Crook
George do Inmate 5 Scholar Durham Spennymoor
Mary do Inmate 3 Durham Coundon Grange
Margt do Inmate 7mo Durham Bp. Auckland
Auckland Union Workhouse, Bishop Auckland.
This ties in with the IGI entry found by Jan.

This looks like Michael’s death registration.
1877 Auckland OND quarter 10a 118
Michael Rutherford Aged 45
This is very odd. He is exactly the right age in exactly the right District (and there do not seem to be any others of the same name on the censuses) which gives every indication that this was the husband of Margaret.
However, if it was, where did Margt (and possibly Mary) come from ??

my g/mothers d.o.b. was 8.8.1881
Maureen
There is no suitable birth registration in 1881 but I think that this is the appropriate one
1880 Auckland JAS quarter 10a 222
(08/08/1880 ?)
Margaret Ann Rutherford.
Also the 1901 census shows her (with her husband Emanuel Tazey) born Auckland, aged 20. This also indicates a birth in 08/1880. Had her birth been 08/1881 she would have been 19 on census night 1901.
