From Sutherland to Fife
« on: Friday 17 March 06 16:44 UTC (UK) »

Hi, a relative of mine, William Sutherland (born in Brora, near Golspie, in 1845) moved to Fife and basically started my family. We don't know anything about him, really, and I'd like to find out about his life in Brora, and hopefully who his parents were etc. Oh, he was married to Elizabeth Mowat.

Any ideas on what to look for, or anyone got any info on this?

Cheers,
ostler

Hi
I can only find one marriage.

William Sutherland and Elizabeth Mowat
21 JAN 1875   
Ausdale Berriedale  Latheron,
Caithness, Scotland
Husband Age at Marriage:  27   
Wife Age at Marriage:  22

I found only 1 William Sutherland with wife Elizabeth in Fife on the 1881 Census. His place of birth was transcribed as "Scrathron" Caithness, although I believe it is Latheron.
Markinch, Fife, Scotland

The only William I can find born Golspie, was married to "Bell" and living in Sutherland.

The only suggestion I can give, is if you know when his children were born, check the birth certificate for the date of William and Elizabeth's marriage, and then you can check the marriage certificate for names of parents.

Hope this helps.
