Peter Sutherland
« on: Saturday 11 August 12 14:39 BST (UK) »
Hi

Peter Sutherland was born at Laid, Watten, Caithness in 1895, son of Sydney Laing and Peter Sutherland.
He moved to Brora where he worked as a tailor.
Peter was deformed and as far as I know would have lived in Brora until his death.  Can not find any reference to his death on Scotlands People web site.
Anyone with any knowledge of this man?

To narrow any search - what dates do you know for certain he was still alive (eg) did he marry and have any children?

Scotlands People deaths  has 4 matches for that name between 1911-1980 with a birthyear 1893-1897 throughout Scotland (in case he did not see out his days in Sutherland)

Have you already discounted all 4 entries?
