Hi happygirl
i dont know about your Janet Rutherford Alexander Bell who was Janet parents but about that later
I have children of Janet Jardine and Andrew Rutherford as being,James born 1806 John 1808 Mary born 1811 died 1892,Helen born 1813 died 1887,Walter born 1816 , James born 1821 Joseph 1822 died 1888, Andrew born 1823 died 1885
I know there are two James been born to the family so i presume the first 1806 died in infancy so they named a later son James i know this used to happen
please check your info just to make sure we are on the same family before i send you some more info because if one of us is crossed the info will be misleading to you

Hello Again
definatly same family ,the only reason i was being carefull was when i first started, i followed a branch for a long time before finding out wrong family anyway is there anything you would like to know or are stuck on
If i can i will help Heather
-
Hello Heather
I'm a little comfused my Joseph died 1883 and you have him died 1888
and all the information i have on this family i have posted so if you have anything else to add i would be more than grateful. yes i did notice there were two children named James and agree with you that one had died.
I have only the names of the brothers and sisters with b. dates but no other information on any of them.
again many thanks

Hi Happygirl
The site i use mainly for research is Scolandpeople so some of the dates maybe out a year or two but i have doubled check things with differant sites
Walter and Mary Rutherford had two sons John 1782 Andrew 1773 {possibly more children i have not found]
Andrew married Janet Jardine and ther children you know so i will tell you who they married
John 1808 dod 1875 married Isabella Graham dob 1811
Mary had children but never married dod 1892 in Brydekirk
Helen never married but had children dod 1887 Brydekirk
Walter 1816 nothing at all
James nothing as yet realy must have a look about him
Joseph you know
Andrew 1823 dod 1885 died in Annan was married to a Josephine Gilbertson
Just to confuse us there was another son William born 1800
to Andrew Rutherford and Janet Farries,but on his death cert his parents are down as Andrew Rutherford and Janet Jardine so i presume his mother janet died maybe in child birth or when he was very young and Janet Jardine was the only mother he knew
I hope this makes sense if not please email me i have other names and dates i can give you Heather
-
hi heather

I have tried England but no luck so i can only presume he as emergrated but can you suggest the best place to start i have never had to research any futher than Scotland and England as yet
He seems to have gone some time after 1841
Thankyou for any suggestions Heather
-
do you know where his parents are buried i was thinking he might have gone to america will keep him on my look for list csc

Hello there!
Another descendant here. Heather already know me.
Happygirl, I thought I should share that I've traced 8 children for Joseph and Janet (Varry). Although, there are 2 Williams so I assume the first one died, he was only born two months after his parents married.
Heather, I'm still no further with Walter either. Although since we were last in touch, I have found out what happened to my great uncle Joseph Henry Rutherford, he died of meningitis when he was just 14 :(
