Thank you again Shirley, I was looking for a baptism record for Charles, but have had no luck, was hoping it would show his parents.

Have been looking at the tree on Ancestry which ErikaH mentioned earlier, it is very well documented, but no mention of his parents.

I said there was no parental info on the Ancestry 'tree'.

Sorry I didn’t post any later info, as I assumed you had it all - having worked back to Charles and Maria :-( :-(

Sorry for delay, yes I do have most of it, its Charles parents which is the missing piece of information, there are 3 of us working on it, and none of us can find the parents. I was hoping to find a baptism record in the absence of a marriage record, I will have to look again later as I am out today.

Thank you for all your help so far.

Possible death of Maria Anna ??

Carruthers Mary 72 Chorlton 8c 447

She was in West Derby (Liverpool) in 1881 - no indication of connections to Manchester area

I wrote to Edward Knighton yesterday, and we are now in communication, it seems that he is also is a distant relative of Charles Birney Carrothers. Charles is in fact the 3x Great Grandfather of my cousin whom I am working on this with. Edward hasn't been able to find any parents yet either.

Just wanted to say thank you for the lead, apparently he has a lot more information about Charles, although not the name of his parents.

I will also follow up the other lead you gave me for possible parents for Maria.


Thanks again.

That's good to know, Deborah!

Yes, it was your lead that helped me, thank you all very much.
