Goldie, Compliments of the season! I like the purpose. You're thinking they might have originated in North Scotland? I think I have them. Into the 1881 census I typed the address and brought up Andrew Innes aged 68 and Mary A. Innes 58 at New Row with John Innes aged 23 who is their son. 1891 census I typed the address and brought up Mary Ann Rutherford born abt 1816 Inveresk, Edinburgh, aged 65 without her husband, and Andrew Innes aged 6, born abt 1885, Grandson, residing in Tranent where Andrew is a scholar. In 1891 New Row again, John Innes 32 is married to Mary Ann aged 27 and he's a coal miner. Into 1901 typing in the address and "INNES" in the surname one finds more; Alexander and Elizabeth with son James b 1852 residing at 11 New Row, and he's a coal miner. The closest of course if Mary Ann Rutherford who likely died between 1891 and 1901. I am not sure where we go from there with any certainty. I saw the marriage with Hardy. I wondered at first if you had searched in Find a Grave and thought to post it here in case other Listers dont know of it. http://www.findagrave.com/ I have found a link to it a number of times in suggested records and it finds graves all over the world because it has subscribers who prefer to input their information into burials.
