Hello Listers, I am new to this list and I am currently researching the following family. James Rutherford born 16.7.1837, Galashiels married 16.4.1861 Edinburgh to Susannah Boyd. They are my Great, Great Grandparents.They had 8 children. They were Robert, George (my great grandfather), Susannah, John, betsy Allison, James Oliver, Mary Jane and Oliver. James Rutherford moved to Edinburgh before the 1861 census along with his parents Robert Rutherford and Elisabeth Oliver, and 3 of his brothers , John, George and Oliver and his sister Helen. They were all married in Edinburgh. John married Isabella Sinclair, there were 9 chidren. George married Gloriannah Stirling Aitchison, no children. Oliver married Mary Marston, no children. Oliver was a lawyer in Edinburgh. Helen married John Fenwick Buchanan and I only know of 2 children at this time. My 2x Great grandfather James died 26.9.1877 Edinburgh and his wife Susannah died 19.6.1915 South Leith. James's 2 older brothers remained in Roxburghshire. Robert born 4.1.1829 Maxton married Margaret Storie, there were 9 children . Thomas was born 16.8.1830 Maxton, he is proving to be difficult to find. Is there anyone out there who is researching these families or are there any descendants still living in Edinburgh. James's son George came out to New Zealand circa 1889 and settled here in Lyttelton, New Zealand after his marriage to Margaret McDougall in 1891. Regards Dianne Dixon, Christchurch, New Zealand.
