Hi Mike
I'm still in Zimbabwe, never lived in the UK.........have lots of cousins in
Scotland.
Cant remember which line of Carruthers you stem from there was only two different lines in
Rhodesia/Zimbabwe from two fellows that landed in South Africa in the
1855's-1865's
Fergus & James that I know of anyhow.
Patricia Ann Carruthers - Pringle road -Greendale is about 25Kms from my place
however am interested to meet this Carruthers also, if in the area in the next couple of
weeks i'll pop in............ no chance of finding out her present Surname ??
Am interested to know more about your John Carruthers (Salesman) & how he fits in
have you any other Carruthers's connected to him. Thanks for getting in touch glad u
got some assistance from Harare Archives, if you are landed with talking to the right
person in the right mood then bingo!!
I've got the following in my line, remember sometimes John was called Jack
have indicated those in Rhodesia, perhaps you can see a connection ?

Today I received in the post from Salisbury, a copy of my mum's cousin's death
notice, and will. I am so surprised and pleased, as it answers more questions on my search
for that part of my family. I merely sent an email, and received the info I asked for. I
guess I am shocked, that a request would be considered let alone acted on. From his death
notice I learned that John Carruthers was a sales rep, of what I have no idea.
I just thought I would keep you updated. Best to you, hope all is well. Are you still in
Africa or back to the UK.
Mike
