[poppy42]

Hi Everyone
Following my first posting Private W Gregson (many thanks for all the help  ) I am now searching for any information about his Mother a Margaret Montgomery Rutherford born 1895 Annan, Dumfriesshire

Margaret married Alfred Gregson in Bolton 1913 address 7 Villiers Street. Margaret a domestic servant and Alfred a railway goods porter.

Her Father on the marriage certificate is Joseph Rutherford (deceased) ploughman. Witness a Janet Kerr.

Would like to know more about the family and what happened to Margaret ? If anyone could help please.
Regards

1891 -

Agnes Kerr   32 b. Dumfriesshire
Mary Kerr   6 b. Dumfriesshire

It would appear that Janet Kerr was Margaret's step sister.

Thank you JJen
Oh my ! You work so quick
This is great information for us. Alfred Gregson died before 1935 as deceased on the marriage certificate of William to Vera Thorn but I do not know the exact date of death, I would like to find this so I can apply for the record. I wonder if any connection to WW1 as he was quite young ?

I will try to apply for the marriage certificate to James Cookson as this could give further info on William.

Much more to discover on the Rutherford`s from your information, Many Thanks
Kind Regards

Hi Poppy

From JJ and Jennifer's info above...

There are a number of online trees on a/try...only accessible via subscription...such as this one http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/47120322/person/6698224771?ssrc=

Will say that after the death of Joseph, Margaret's father, in 1906, wife Agnes (maiden surname Hetherington) and children look to have moved down to the Bolton area before 1911. Possibly your Margaret was a twin to Agnes?

Agnes Hetherington/Rutherford likely died back in Dumfrieshire/Scotland in 1940. Easy enough for you to check on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk (it is the only entry).

Many Thanks to Monica & Jennifer for your replies much appreciated.

Trying to find more on the family trees and other links you have found, all your help I know is getting me closer to finally one day see a photo of my Father William Gregson.
