John Rutherford and his con flab e dab e dozie family tree

From Carol, further interpretation and supposition from
Raymond Rutherford’s research:
Our great grandfather JOHN RUTHERFORD (senior) was married to Elizabeth
Becket, see opposite. Note: apparently in Ireland they put age 21 to show they were
of age but it is not necessarily an accurate age. His father on these documents is
shown as George Rutherford.

The great great grandfather George Rutherford is a little more difficult to be sure
about. Raymond did chase up a really interesting one that proved to be all wrong
in the end. The one that may be correct is a George Rutherford and was found in
Coleraine when his third child Elizabeth was born in 1845 (in Bell Lane, Coleraine).
This George was married to a Nancy McKinney and had a child John born 19
January1841, Alice Fisherwood born 1842, Elizabeth 1845, Mary 1851 and then
another John. Sometimes apparently when a child dies they often named another
child by the same name. It was someone else that gave Raymond this info and they
thought this John was born in 1858 (possibly in Scotland). It is a bit of a gap and I
wonder if he was kind of ‘adopted’ into the family. That is purely my supposition and
Raymond will probably do a bit more research on it. Someone has suggested that
this George may have come from Lancashire!
We can be more definite about our great grandmother ELIZABETH BECKETT. Her
father was Oliver Beckett born in. co. Antrim 1827. He was married to Roseann
Culbertson on 1 April 1851. The Becketts worked in the linen mill in Balnamore and
there is a Beckett family grave in the old churchyard in Ballymoney.
