Mary Jane Rutherford (my great grandmother) married James Kilgour in 1871 when she was 16 and he 26. They were both living in Albion Street, Jarrow. On their marriage certificate it states James father is Samuel Kilgour, shoemaker. They had 4 children, James, b abt 1872 in Jarrow, Andrew b abt 1873 in Scotland, Margaret b abt 1875 in Scotland( she marries Thomas Hymers) and Jacob b abt 1877 in Jarrow. James her husband dies in November 1876 when she is pregnant with Jacob. They lived at 33 Potter Street, Jarrow when he dies at the age of 33. She then marries David Rodger in 1881 and they went on to have possibly 5 children, not sure about that could be 4. One of those children Ann Lyle Rodger is my grandmother. June
