Text source

Miss Rutherford was the wife of naval officer, Captain Alexander Forrat [SSNE 4146]. After his death she was allegedly awarded a pension by the Swedish state (to be verified). They had a daughter who married Captain Seaton (unknown which one). She is probably the daughter of Colonel Patrick Rutherford [SSNE 6633] whose daughter is noted as having married 'a Forratt'.
