Roxburghshire / Re: Lanton Jedburgh Scottish Borders

I've tried using the Scotlands People website, but the pay per view really adds up. I wish they had a membership option so you could search all you wanted for a set price. The marriage record you mention is about 10 years too late for the children they have. But I'll keep hunting. Thanks!

Roxburghshire / Re: Lanton Jedburgh Scottish Borders

Hi, I'm new to RootsChat. I'm from the US and researching my Rutherford family in Scotland. My 5th Great-Grandfather was Thomas Rutherford who lived in Lanton during the 1841 and 1851 Scotland Census. He was a joiner, which is a carpenter, I think. He was born in Roxburghshire (about 1786), but I can't figure out who his parents are. Or when he died. Or where. I'm guessing he died in Lanton, because he doesn't appear on the 1861 Census. He was married to Mary (possibly Mary Bell) who was also born in Roxburghshire around 1781.

Anyway, I know these are questions, not information, but I thought I'd put this out there if anyone has any information on this Rutherford branch in Lanton. I've heard there are a lot of Rutherfords in the Scottish Borders, so this might be a stab in the dark.
