People,
The Cumbria Genealogy site lists the following people.
a.. D. CARRUTHERS - Tailor/Draper English Damside Carlisle 1847
a.. Mary CARRUTHERS - vict Crown Stanwix Carlisle 1829
a.. William CARRUTHERS - Horse Dealer Stanwix Carlisle 1829
a.. John CARRUTHERS - Horse Dealer and Inn Keeper Stanwix Carlisle 1811
There is a common thread to the CARRUTHERS connections that I am looking for with all of
them and I am wondering if anyone can fill the gaps.
I am looking for Robert CARRUTHERS and Mary CARRUTHERS (nee SALKELD), my
g.g.g.grandparent, who in 1822 lived at English Damside Carlisle. Robert was a Horse
Dealer.
The only child that I know of was Robert Salkeld CARRUTHERS b1822 and Christened at
StCuthbert Carlisle. Robert S emigrated to Australia in 1850. His first son was named
Robert James and his second was named John Salkeld.
Scenario:
John CARRUTHERS is Robert CARRUTHERS' father who trained his son as a horse dealer.
He put Mary, Robert's wife into his Inn the Crown. William is a brother to John. and
D CARRUTHERS is a sibling of Robert S who remained at English Damside to take up as a
Tailor/Draper.
It's fanciful but possible.
Can anyone throw light on any of the people in the list. Also, what doe 'vict'
refer to?
I'll look forward to a flood of answers.
