Hello aneta
Welcome to Rootschat 
Is this your family in 1851:
Ramscraigs, Latheron
RD 38 Ed 17 page 13
Alexander Sutherland, 45, Fisherman and crofter of 2 acres, b. Berriedale, Caithness
Catherine, 41, b. Berriedale
Catherine, 13, b. Berriedale
Margaret, 10, b. Berriedale
Robert, 2, b. Berriedale
If so I'll do some further work on them 
Regards

This might well be Henry:
1851
Mountpleasant Farm, Thurso
RD 41 ED 6 Page 1
A household of farm servants:
Henry Sutherland, 17, servant, b. Latheron
and in 1861:
Farm Square, Scrabster, Thurso
RD 41 ED 11 Page 3
Henry Sutherland, 27, ploughman, b. Latheron
Isabella, 25, b. Thurso
Isabella, 3, b.Thurso
Alexander, 1, b. Thurso
Hugh McDonald, 26, lodger, labourer, b. Farr, Sutherland
Geroge Mckay, 24, lodger, labourer, b. Farr, Sutherland
I'll try and trace them through the censuses to see if they suddenly disappear with no death record

So, from what I can see, Henry and Isabella had the following children:
Isabella - 23 Sept 1857
Alexander - 7 July 1859
George - 28 July 1861
Robert - 10 Nov 1863
William and Catherine - 6 Sept 1867
Mary Ann - 2 Dec 1869
Alexandrina - 2 Nov 1871
Henrietta - 7 June 1875
Which of the children are you descended from?

Hi aneta
I'm very pleased that I've found your family. I'll now do some more hunting for Alexander and Catherine. As far as i can see Catherine's surname was also Sutherland. There was also a Catherine Henderson m. to an Alexander having children at the same time but 'your' Henry's mother was definitely Sutherland.
I've found the following baptisms for children of the couple in the parish of Latheron on SP:
24 Dec 1829 - Christian
28 July 1832 - Henry
12 June 1835 - Alexander
24 Jult 1837 - Catherine
24 Nov 1839 - David
21 Feb 1841 - Margaret
I've not yet been able to find a baptism for Robert (aged 2 on the 1851 census). There is a patron submission on the IGI for just 1849, Berriedale, parents Alexander and Catherine Sutherland but nothing on SP so far

1861
Dry Hill, Latheron
RD 38 Ed 2b Page 13
Alexr Sutherland, 56, fisherman, b. Dunbeath
Catherin, 54, fisherman's wife, b. Dunbeath
Robert, 12, Scholar, b. Dunbeath
Wm, 10, Scholar, b. Dunbeath
Dunbeath is about 10 km north of Berriedale. Their marriage entry (1 Jan 1829)shows them as both of Ramscraigs which is half way between Berriedale and Dunbeath.
I've checked the 1851 to see if there was another couple but can't find one so this family is possibly yours.
The 1871 bears this out:
Knockally (just to the north of Ramscraigs, closer to Dunbeath)
RD 38 ED 17 Page 13
Alexander Sutherland, 66, fisherman, b. Dunbeath
Catherine, 64, fisherman's wife, b. Dunbeath
Robert, 21, ag lab, b. Dunbeath

1881
Township of Castle Neil, Latheron
RD 38 ED 17 page 12
Robert Sutherland, 30, Crofter, b. Latheron , Castlehill
Margaret, wife, 19, b. Latheron , Forse
Janet, daughter, 2 months, b. latheron, Castlehill
Catherine, mother, widow, 75, fisherman's wife, b. Latheron, Ramscraigs
Alexander obviously dies between 1871 and 1881. I'll check for a death cert which should give his parents' names.

Fortunately I found him with first pick - there were 4 or 5 to choose from!
Alexander Sutherland died 25 March 1879 (that's tomorrow) , aged 75, at Ramscraigs, Dunbeath. Married to Catherine Sutherland.
His parents were Alexander Sutherland, crofter and fisherman, and Christian, m.s. McKenzie, both deceased.
His son Robert was the informant.

I can't find a death for Catherine at the moment - too many to choose from
Turning back to Henry and Isabella:
1891:
Sinclair Street, Thurso
RD 41 ED 1 Page 55
Henry Sutherland, 59, labourer, b. Dunbeath
Isabella, 56, b. Thurso
Kate, 25, dressmaker, b. Thurso
Henrietta, 15, servant - domestic, b. Thurso
Alexina, 10, pupil teacher, b. Thurso
I think that William was a farm servant at Brawl, Halkirk:
RD 37a ED 3 Page 4
William Sutherland, 25, farm servant, b. Thurso
Did he marry here or Australia?

By 1901, Henry must have died (will check) and the family have moved to Lanarrkshire:
Main Street, Cambuslang, Lanark
RD 627 ED 16 Page 34
Isabella Sutherland,65, b. Thurso
Kate, 33, dressmaker, b. Thurso
Mary 31, tobacconist shp, b. Thurso
Alexina, 29, school teacher, b. Thurso
Henrietta, 25, dressmaker, b. Thurso
William might well be here:
41 Mordant St, Bridgeton, Glasgow
RD 644/1 Ed 68 Page 11
William Sutherland, boarder, 25 35 , gatekeeper - gas works, b. Thurso

Very interesting:
Henry died January 25th 1892, aged 58, at Sinclair St, Thurso. A farm servant, married to Isabella Elder. His daughter Mary Ann Sutherland was the informant
Mary Ann gives his parents as Alexander Sutherland, crofter deceased and Catherine, m.s. McKenzie (deceased).
I'm wondering if she has mixed up her grandmother's surmane with Alexander's mother, Christian McKenzie, because in the marriage record and all the children's bpt/births she is Catherine m.s. Sutherland.
I'll check for her death again.

Catherine Sutherland died May 21 1881, Ramscraigs, Dunbeath, aged 75. Widow of Alexander Sutherland, crofter and fisherman. Her parents are given as Henry Sutherland, fisherman (deceased) and Catherine, m.s. McKenzie (deceased). Her son Robert was the informant.
Obviously Mary Ann got confused on Henry's death cert.
