Title: George Rutherford, Manorhamilton
Post by: LinJ on Friday 26 December 08 14:07 GMT (UK)
Looking for information on the family of George Rutherford born 1816 Manorhamilton County Leitrim.  Parents: George Rutherford & Ann Waterton on death record.  Although in census records in Scotland Ann's husband is James Rutherford.  Perhaps error on certificates or she married another Rutherford?

George married Barbara Drennan (Drynan) and had children in Ireland George & James.  Then
George & the boys moved to Greenock Scotland in 1840's.  (Barbara is recorded as deceased on George & James marriage certificates in the 1860's).  George married Sarah Jane Scoffield (b. 1817 Ballymona) 1848 in Greenock.  They then lived in Govan Glasgow. Children: Samuel, Mary & Isaac.

In case anyone is still interested, this is a branch of my Rutherford family - and I have plenty of information about them!
