Could some kind people give me suggestions on how to find the full name of a Mr Sutherland, South Town Belt, Christchurch. Sorry don't even have his initial.
My William McLauchlan & Christina Sutherland were married at the home of Mr Sutherland , South Town Belt, Christchurch on 4 June 1868. Registered 30 May 1868. Rev. George Grant, Officiating Minister.
Both were of age. Would ITM notices have who he was.? They were both Prebyterians. Someone told me the records might be at the Knox Church.
Thank you for reading above, Tiff

Thank you very much for your lookup Alamar which I find very interesting espec. the Sutherland, Middle Lincoln Rd. (Christina & William farmed at Lincoln before they went to Brookside) & William & Donald Sutherland at Southbridge. Would love to get to the bottom of these three.
The boundaries of the City of Christchurch when originally established were: South Town Belt -Moorhouse Ave. East Belt - Fitzgerald Ave. North Belt - Bealey Ave. West Belt - Deans Ave.
Do you know when the Rolls first started in the South Island. Am thinking if there was one in 1871 I might find the Mr Sutherland South Town Belt. Apprciate your help, Tiff

Hi Tiff.
I looked at the city library’s card index today for the 1868 marriage. The typed copy of the actual register for St Paul’s Presbyterian Church reads as follows.
4 June 1868 at the house of Mr Sutherland South Town Belt William McLauchlan, bach, farmer of full age Christina Sutherland, spin, domestic servant of full age
Witnesses James Sutherland, farmer, Selwyn Marjory Dunn, Lincoln
I certify this is a true copy of the original registered 30 May. George Grant, officiating minister.
The certification at the end is new to me but all the marriages were so noted so it simply must have been Rev Grant’s way of doing things.
Went through the Canty Provincial Council Electoral Rolls but found no Sutherlands resident in Moorehouse Ave. The closest was A Robert resident in Cashel Street but leasing part of the Lunatic Asylum Reserve in Riccarton. An Angus Sutherland also leased part of the same reserve but he seemed to live there. A William Sutherland lived in Opawa.
Before leaving I looked at the Cyclopaedia of NZ of 1903. William McLauchlan is included together with some info about him as well as his photo. Of his wife the entry says “ He was married in NZ to Miss Christina Sutherland of Caithness Scotland and has two sons and one daughter.”
So she’s a Highland lassie right enough but of her parentage I found nothing certain. I Xeroxed the Cyclopedia page if you do not already have it.

Dear Alamar,
How very generous of you to go to all that trouble on my behalf. Thank you so much & also xeroxing the Clyclopedia page on William McL. Would be great to see.
Christina's father was William Sutherland so will have to find out about the William in Opawa (age) & then again he may have been her brother...don't know any of her siblings's names. Will look into Angus & Robert S.
Christina came to NZ on the ship "Lincoln" which arrived June 1867. There were no other Sutherlands aboard or any passengers from Caithness, another blank.
Had the info. re her marriage. James Sutherland, witness, farmer, Selwyn, I simply can't find. Marjory Dunn was William's sister Ann's daughter who lived in Lincoln.
I think Selwyn must have covered a fairly wide area. Wonder from where to where.
You may have seen my other posting re Sutherlands where I am hoping someone posting on it may have a Sutherland ancestor who I can connect up with mine.
You have been a terrific help...very much appreciated. Many thanks Tiff
