Where in Fife were your Sutherlands, xin?

Well  mostly Dunfermline,  but moved around a little  Glasgow/Edinburgh/
I have Robert 1832 Glasgow - his son Robert born Kirkaldy - His son John born dundee - but the other children of that marriage were born Kirkaldy/Dunfermline.

Adrian - I have a John Taylor marrying a Helen Fife/Fyfe in 1784.  Their daughter is Mary, christened 1785 Dysart.  Mary went on to marry Lawrence Lennie in 1807 (Edinburgh) and are my 3xg grandparents.

I know Taylor is a common name (coincidentally my surname today) but thought I would throw it out there anyway.

I have in my tree  a Christen Kinnell born Kinghorn, Fife 1708 to James Kinnell and Elsbeth Beatsone. She was mt great grandmother x5.
In 1730 she married James Gray and their son Robert was born in Kinghorn in 1737.
Robert married Kathrine Moffat and their son David was born in 1769. He married Elizabeth Darney and they had a son Robert born 1797.
Robert's second marriage was to Henrietta Paterson of Aberdour in 1841 in Burntisland. My great grandmother Maggie was the last of their children born in Burntisland in 1851.
She died in Hereford England in 1932.


Hope this is of some interest.
