I have had a lucky contact which has helped in my CARRUTHERS research.
George born about 1790 Ireland has parents James CARRUTHERS and Helen
DONALDSON ref. death certificate. This was a military family which explains
all the movement. James CARRUTHERS b 1816 may have died in service in
India. His children migrated to Australia.
I have much more detail should someone connect.
Regards, Kathleen.
