My Grandfather, John Boyd Rutherford was born in Peebles, Scotland about 1826. He married for a second time in Australia in 1868. Died in Hobart, Tasmania in 1896. I cannot find any siblings or a record of his birth. His Parents were John Rutherford and Ann Boyd who were married in 1824 in Peebles. John Rutherford
