Hello fellow listers from a cold overcast day here in Christchurch, New Zealand. After seeing the name Rutherford on the list over the last few days and the August theme being 'a brick wall', I decided to re-post my Rutherford brick wall. I am trying to find the marriage (?) of my 4 x Great Grandfather Robert Rutherford and his wife Helen Buchan / Buckham / Buckholm, and their parents. Robert possibly born c. 1760's / 1770's. They had five known children with a John born c. 1793, who is the eldest at this time of my research. I am assuming that my Robert's father could then possibly be a John Rutherford. There are several Robert Rutherford's in Roxburghshire around the time span of 1785 - 1810 that I am researching in, making it difficult to say which one is ours. The baptisms / births of their known children, I have not been able to locate after extensive reading of parish films in Roxburghshire at our LDS library. However I was lucky that the five children died after 1855 and their parents names were confirmed on their death certs. Some of the parish films that I have read, did have some years missing and as we all know it, it is the time span that I would like to research. It has held me up for a good couple of years now. I have also looked at the BVR index at our local library. Robert's occupation was a Farm Steward. Has anyone got any ideas how I could start to climb this wall. Is there anyone out there who knows of this family or are descended from Robert and Helen Rutherford. I am a direct descendant of their 4th son Robert who was born c. 1805, Maxton and married Elisabeth Oliver. Thanking you, Regards, Dianne Dixon nee Rutherford.
