I was looking at birthplaces that you already have connections with such as Stitchel, Roxburghshire. |

No, I don't think it's any of these. I found my MAIN target about two years ago so I don't remember exactly but pretty sure it's not these. I still have all the original searches stored on Scotlands People (fabulous site BTW) so I can go back and look however i'm sure we've cracked the problem. |

I wonder if this is her. |

Aaahhhhh! The plot thickens! So young Charles born at Renwick and christened at Berwick which, not incidentally, is where naughty Charles parents John and Elizabeth were married. Probably some family still living there while they were farming in Scotland. |

I think I have a link with a Christina Main who lived very close to where Charles worked just BEFORE going to England. She lived near Barns Roxburghshire and was 21 (UNM) while Charles was 23 (UNM). I surmise she accompanied him to England and had the child there, subsequently remaining in England while he returned to his family - his sister (Catherine, 23 UNM) caring for the child until he married (Mary Thomson at Stichill) six years later and had second son James. If she married someone called KIDD it would all tie in. |

This must be his birth in that case: |

No Christina Kidds in any census in Renwick or any Mains. |

Another Twist in the tale....when illegitimate Charles Rutherford married my Ggrandmother he put his mothers name as Christina MAIN, not Christina KIDD. On his death cert it appears as Christina KIDD so where did the change come from? |

I will definitely be studying this more closely. |

Just one point- if Catherine was written in poor handwriting it could look like Christine. |

P.S. I note the 1871 entry for Charles juniors mother as Catherine Rutherford. I don't think this is true as I don't think Catherine ever left the country whereas Charles apparently did. I believe they gave Catherine as the mothers name to cover up an illegitimate birth and absoption into the Rutherfords in Scotland. |

Marvellous! Thanks to all of you. In summary, my Relation Charles who was a ploughman had moved a long way (relatively for those days though the trains were in operation at that time) from Roxburghshire to North Cumbria. With numerous KIDD families in the area it seems he "met up" with one and she had the child who they also named Charles. They did not marry apparently however he returned to Scotland with Charles Junior. |
