Dear Margaret, I read with interest your reply to Rod Smith as regards to the Cavers parish. I too have an interest in the Cavers parish. You mention that you have a copy of the MI's for this parish. Could I be a cheeky genealogist and ask you to look up and see if there are any Rutherfords and Boyds buried there when you have the time. My 3x G.Grandfather Robert Rutherford and his wife Betsy Oliver may possibly have lived there before the birth of their 4th child as the last 4 childrens births have been recorded at Cavers as well as in the Parishs of their actual births. I can't find the marriage of these two and it may be that their families originally come from this area. I find it very puzzling that the births of the last 4 children out of 8 altogether have had their births recorded in this way. Has anyone got any views on this. Thanking you, Dianne Dixon.
