hi,
i have come across a strange coincidence and im struggling to find a link between the 2 BUT my gut feeling is that there is one.
in my tree i have some of the Carruthers family (distant related by my 3rd great aunt). robert Carruthers b abt1838 of cumbria married Mary Iriving b abt 1844 of cumbria marriage was in 1867. a good friend of mines maiden name was Carruthers and is from cumbria, her grandad and great grandad both had the middle name of irving - john irving carruthers (both of them). great grandad was born abt 1851 so 17yrs before the marriage. is there likely to be a link between the 2 families?
ive started a tree for my friends details to try and see if there is a link but as of yet i cant find one. any ideas?
