I could not find the marriage of Ninian Johnstone and Jean Blackadder. Thankyou for offering information on the Berwickshire parishes of Duns, Chirnside and Cockburnspath. I know that some of the Rutherfords are from Berwickshire but at this time I do not think that mine come from there. They are deffinitely from Roxburghshire. I hope the above is of some help. Good luck with your research, Dianne Dixon, New Zealand.
