NotesA birth registration was found for Margaret Carruthers: Year of Registration: 1879; Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep; District: West Derby; County: Lancashire; Volume: 8b; Page: 546. Parents: Richard Carruthers and Jane Routledge, married 1874 in West Derby, Lancashire, England.

A death registration was found for Richard Carruthers: Estimated Birth Year: abt 1839; Year of Registration: 1883; Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar; Age at Death: 44; District: West Derby; County: Lancashire; Volume:8b; Page: 489.

After the death of Richard, their mother was left in a difficult financial situation. So, in 1885, Jane Carruthers remarried a widower named Alfred Richard Pruden.

According to her great-niece, J. Soules, the family story was that the Carruthers children were not welcomed by their stepfather who was frequently out of work. By 1888 the family were in a sorry state, with 2 Pruden children as well as the 6 Carruthers.

Margaret's sisters, Frances and Mary Jane were sent to Liverpool Sheltering Home, followed by Elizabeth Dorothy and Isabella Carruthers 6 months later. Within weeks of entering the Sheltering Home they were sent to Canada and split up. Margaret had been placed for adoption in England twice, unsuccessfully, and followed her sisters to Canada in 1889. Her eldest brother, John, has no records concerning his whereabouts, but was likely apprenticed somewhere.

On December 14, 1896, at Melbourne Congregation Church, Melbourne, Quebec, Canada, a marriage was registered between William Tudge, of age, of Richmond, Quebec, Canada, son of William and Eliza Tudge of Worcestershire, England; and Margaret Carruthers, minor, with consent of her guardians, daughter of Richard Carruthers and Jane Rutledge, of Liverpool, England. Her sister, Elizabeth Carruthers was a witness to the marriage.

Jane Routledge Carruthers Pruden went on to have 6 children by Alfred Richard Pruden. She died in 1923.

Margaret Tudge emigrated to the United States about 1898, along with her son, John William Arthur, (born in Richmond, Quebec, Canada, in 1897). It is believed that her husband, William Tudge, returned to England. Margaret remarried H. Rockwell Osborne (26 years her senior) before 1920.

H. Rockwell Osborne was the proprietor of Kimball, Harrington and Osborne, 6 and 8 India Square, Boston, Massachusetts, USA, dealers and importers.
