Could anyone please assist in the relevant search/lookup for me.
I have a brick wall with my G/G/Grandfather
James CARRUTHERS - Born Between 1791 & 1796 Dumfriesshire
(or maybe Kirkcudbright Urr where he was married)
He died Between 1841 & 1851 somewhere in Dumfriesshire ?
( his last child was born Feb.1841 Kirkmahoe)
His wife was on the 1851 Census of Kirkmahoe living at
the village of Quarellwood just north of Duncow & south of Auchencairn
with Sons, John & Robert............ James was had died by then !!!
His wife was Sarah McDONALD born. 1794/5 England & died. 26 Oct. 1864
in Dalswinton - North West of Duncow Village.
They were married : June 1820 in Urr Kirkcudbright. James was an Agricultural Labourer
his Sons became Shoe & Boot makers, a trade taken from the McDONALDS.
Any help with this would be gratefully appreciated,
Many thanks
