Hi Alison,
I have found my information from various sources including the following:
www.familysearch.orgwww.genealogy.com (under Struthers forum)
www.chouston.f2s.com (thanks Douglas!)
www.scotlandspeople.gov.ukAlso just tracing back from my own family and the information my mother had given me - but Robert and Mary are the elusive family members!
I'm thinking that the Robert born in 1778 is another child as I have the name written down for some reason but only recently discovered it.
I also have a copy of the marriage certificate for Mary Struthers, daughter of John Struthers and Elizabeth Shearer if you are interested.
I think I have the correct information for Mary Paterson's parents and beyond so let me know if you need that too!
The Struthers family are on my mothers side. My mum's grandmother, Mary Taylor McDonald was the daughter of William McDonald and Elisabeth Paterson. William's great grandparents were Robert Struthers and Mary Paterson.
I actually lived in Scotland for 5 years and met an old farmer called Andy Struthers who I wish I had spoken to now as he has since passed away. I didn't realize until afterwards that I had Struthers in my family line and am interested to know if he was part of it!!!
I will attach details of the other Struthers children in a Word document as they are too many to note here.
Hope some of this is of help to you!!
Regards,
Andrea
