I have read recently that someone was looking for William Rutherford born 1846 in Edinburgh with family connections in Hull. Whilst doing my own Rutherford research, I have found the following on the 1871 Census in England. William Ruthereford marr. 25 Mate, born Edinburgh. He was on a Vessel in the West of Spurn, Yks. Could this be your man? Best Wishes, Anne in Bolton, Lancashire.
