I am trying to trace a family for someone in NZ and I find that dates are hard to match
up. Would anyone on here have information about Robert Irving and Janet Carruthers. The
confusing think is that there are two sets of these people born ruffly around the same
time. My information is that Robert Irving born in 1992 married Janet Carruthers born in
1792 I don't know anything about this Robert but his wifes mother was a Jardine. Who
married a Robert Carruther and her grandmother apparently was a Jardine as well. Does this
make sense?
These Carruthers are descended from Christoper Carruthers 2nd of Dormont.
My family is the other Carruthers. Robert born in 1793 and married to Janet Carruthers
born in 1803. She was a daughter of John Carruthers of Howcleugh and Janet Schoolar. This
family is in the Carruthers book in Dumfries library. Their son was my Ggrandfather who
immigrated to Canada in the 1850's and who married Thomasina Rae. These Carruthers are
descended from Francis Carruthers 3rd of Dormont and son of Christopher.
In the 1851 census I found my family living at Quaas Loaming near Lockerbie. In the same
census I found a Robert Irving and Janet living at Broats farm but their birth dates are
different than the ones I had. Robert born in 1797 and Janet born in 1800
There seems to be some mix up here can anyone straighten this out?
Thanks Margaret
Hi Margaret,
I must say that your Janet Carruthers b1792 is very long lived to have
married Robert Irving in 1992!!! Ha! Ha!
However have you looked at any wills? Either Irving, Jardine, Or Carruthers
for that period?
