Looking at William's entry I see you are right about the d of dec.d . I hadn't thought of that . What looks like a d in the name could be th squeezed together . So that would be more like Mather

Not finding any baptisms with Mary Ma---- or similar so no help there.

Deaths pre 1855 seldom recorded but you may get lucky with MIs?

Do you have all the details of where/when William died which may help with burials?

I need to go out now.

Could the person giving the name pronounce it as Madar - I've heard a lot of th sounds pronounced as a d. The clerk/minister would then have recorded what he heard.

Gadget .That sounds possible .I can see MATHER could be misheard as MAGDAR

Annie : I know William Carruthers was alive and living in Gretna in 1846 with his daughter Agnes  and her son Stewart Scott (Carruthers) . Agnes was tried for killing her new born baby in 1846 and sent to Tasmania. William was the toll-bar keeper at Gretna at the time.  I'm trying to sort out is what happened to William .He was said to be 69 on the 1841 census so may have died around this time . No sign of him on the 1851 census. There is a William Carruthers  at Rigg Toll Bar in 1857 but i can't be sure if this is William snr or jnr . Lots of work to do

No g - it's the superscript d of Decd in the line below - see father's Decd to compare. I see it as Madar.
