William Rutherford - looking for parents
Hi All, I am looking for help finding parents and baptism of William Rutherford who I believe might have been born in Kinnoul in Perthshire. I know he married Janet Steedman on 6th October, 1839 at Kinnoul in Perthshire and marriage tells me they are "of this Parish". I can only guess that from his marriage date, he may have been born between 1805 - 1820 or something like that. I am trying to get a step back on the "Rutherford" line, so need William's parents names. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Gail

Re: William Rutherford - looking for parents
According to census records he was born at Kinnoul around 1811.
He is still alive in 1881 so hopefully a look at his death entry at Scotlands People will give you his parents' names.
Regards,
Annette

Hello Annette
Just to update following on from your helpful information, I found William Rutherford's death on 28 May 1882 age 68. I found that his father was James Rutherford and mother ? Low. I then looked for the parents marriage which I found to be Margaret Low and married on 3 Sep 1797 in Kinnoul, Perth. I also found James Rutherford on 1841 census with William (his son) and William's wife, Janet and grandson William age 1. I then found a death for James Rutherford on 13 Feb 1848 at Kinnoull, Perth. Could not find a death for Margaret Rutherford (nee Low). Also hoped to find James' parents assuming he was born about 1771. Also Margaret Low's parents. No luck there yet.
Just wanted to say how grateful I am to you. That lead you gave me lead to all of the above. Thank you.
