Hannah CARRUTHERS was baptised in Kirklinton, Cumberland in
1821. Her parents were Richard and Hannah (nee LITTLE),
who married in 1819 in Arthuret, Cumberland. Hannah married John
HOLLIDAY in 1845 in Arthuret
and died in 1902 in Kirklinton.
Her father, Richard was baptised in 1789 in Kirklinton, the
son of Richard (baptised 1743 Kirklinton) and Mary (nee DIXON).
As well as Hannah, he also had an illegitimate (but acknowledged)
son, John, by Sibel Weal and his youngest son, Richard, went to
Australia, where he became Mayor of Strathalyn, South Australia.
From one of my correspondents, I have three further generations
going back to John (1640-1712) and Catherine (nee WILSON). I have
also collected most of the CARRUTHERS from the parishes around
Kirklinton and included them in the main family tree or one of
four smaller trees (not yet connected).
