Robert Atchison Carruthers

[Jo1999]

I am trying to find any information on Robert Atchison Carruthers.  I have a marriage to Hannah Rigg in Liverpool March 1848. Occupation Mariner.  Fathers Name Robert Carruthers also a Mariner.

Their second daughter born in 1856 has him as deceased.  The only Robert Carruthers death Certificate from Liverpool around that time is for a 12 year old boy.

There is a "free weekend" on newspapers.com this weekend - you can see an article about this event:

The Bradford Observer
Thursday, May 05, 1853

It says the captain and 5 others were rescued whilst 12 died.

So possibly not "your" CARRUTHERS.

If Robert was born 1835, he was pretty young to marry in 1848.

Where were the children born? I don't see any CARRUTHERS (or similar) children born 1856 with mothers maiden name RIGG?

Jane CARRUTHERS Mar qtr 1852 Liverpool, mmn RIGG
William Thomas CARRUTHERS Sep qtr 1853 Liverpool, mmn RIGG

When you say "Their second daughter born in 1856 has him as deceased. " do you mean at her birth, or later on her marriage?

Was daughter Hannah born in Wrexham? Mar qtr 1856, mmn WRIGG.
