Possible deaths of 'missing' children (going by gaps)?...

RUTHERFORD ----- 0 (no name)
RUTHERFORD (father/parents not named)

RUTHERFORD ALEXR 8
JNO RUTHERFORD

793/90 44 Kelso

RUTHERFORD AGNES 0
JNO RUTHERFORD
23/04/1804
793/90 52 Kelso
I notice a later Agnes but this is same yr as Richard, was he a twin or could this chid have been born 1803?

RUTHERFORD ----- 0
JNO RUTHERFORD
U (sex unknown) ???
28/06/1806
793/90 62 Kelso

I've noticed this a lot with OPR deaths, not sure if the missing info. is illegible or if the entries just say something like 'the death of a child' or similar, perhaps someone can tell us?
Possibly the only help would be the occupation of Jno/John but all the above are speculation.

No, it's not from a website- I took the photo on my way to buy a loaf this morning!

Thank you for those, I suppose it could be a twin of Richard or year before, I haven't found another Agnes baptism, but then there does appear to be gaps missing. It's quite likely that if Agnes died they named another later daughter in her memory.

I know I have a really hard time reading some OPR's - some could have damage as well I suppose so only part recognizable.

It's quite common for the OPR burial records, and the Mortcloth records, to say something like 'John Smith's child was buried' with no indication of the name, age or sex of the child.

What I have not managed to deduce is how old a child has to be before its personal information does get included. No doubt it varied from parish to parish.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Thanks Forfarian...

I had a look on SP & came to the conclusion there were far too many for them all to have been illegible but it's good to have info. from someone who's seen a doc. as I haven't (not had a need) yet.

The MI has 'one of his children who died in infancy'...I wonder if there's another plot with others?

I can't find that 1823 OPR death/burial for John Rutherford on Scotlands people. Oddly I can't find an OPR birth/baptism either in c1826 for Helen Rutherford daughter of William Rutherford and Janet (Jessie) Douglas. Which makes me wonder if there is a large second in the 1820 period missing or damaged for the Kelso area or are they not complete on Scotlands People?
