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.

There are IGI, Patron submissions for:

Henry Sutherland m Katherine McKenzie, 7 March 1797, Latheron (Catherine's parents)

and

Alexander Sutherland m Christian McKenzie, 26 July 1799, Latheron (Alexander's parents)

These will need checking.

Unfotunately, the Latheon baptism registers don't list mothers and there are quite a few baptisms for children of Alexander Sutherland - 1797-1825, Latheron.

More success with Henry Sutherland:

17 Sept 1805 Katherine, d/o Henry Sutherland, Latheron.

Good morning Gadget  :)

What a way to wake up and see all the information you have sent me I am so over the moon.  8)

If Henry died in Scotland that means that William came out to Australia.

He married Florence Scoles in Surry Hills in Sydney.

I was reading an old letter from an aunt of mine that was telling me that "MRS SUTHERLAND" SENIOR was a manageress in charge of what was a very big pie making company in NSW so that could possibly mean my great grandfather wife Florence was that woman, I will ahve to ask a group I belong to in NSW to see if they can find some information on that subject for me.

Gadget you have unlocked some mysteries for me regarding the SUTHERLANDS I remember my mum saying that the family were very guarded about their history god knows why.

I also remember mum saying that relatives coming out to Australia for a visit because they used to scare the life out of mum as my grandmother would make mum come home for lunch and she would run from the front door to the back yard and stay there till it was time to go back to school. I wonder who they were.

I will be puting this isnformation towards all the I have so far thank you so much I really appreciate the work you gone to.
