I'm trying to tidy up my Carruthers family who lived in Barrow-in-Furness.
In 1871 (RG10/4244/24/42) George (born Dumfries) and Mary (born Carlisle)Carruthers are living in Dalton, Barrow with most of their children. George was a local newspaper editor and a swift Google found him fomenting in the 1860's about the threat from Fenians.
In 1881 (RG11/4286/27/47) the children are all living together at 17 Church Street Barrow, with son Thomas as head of family.
By 1891 (RG12/3488/85/34), son George Murray Carruthers, a journalist who by 1901 had himself become a newspaper editor, is with his new wife Sarah and also 3 of his siblings at 9 Roose Road Barrow.
By 1881, George and Mary Carruthers were still under 50 and he should still be editing his paper, so they should still be around somewhere. I've tried all the searching tricks I could think of, including ploughing through George + Mary with no surname.
Any bright ideas please.
