I think this reads SUTHERLAND not Dutherland?

The first witness is John LOGAN.

I think the second witness may be John McEarlay but not 100% sure of that.

Looking at the whole page that this baptism comes from there does not appear to be any other McE available for comparison.

Full text seems to read:

"William Sutherland Servant in Ketwal had a Child born on the fif-
teenthday of March one thousand seven hundred and fifty five years
and baptized on the Seventeenth Day of Said Month call. Anne be-
fore Witnefses John Logan & John McEarlay there."

Just my two cents.

Many thanks to you all.  Just a slip of my typing finger to say 'Dutherland'

Hope you are coping with the hot weather - assuming you live on the other side of the world.

If you go back in to the first post,you will be able to change the title and then each posting here will have the correct name,incase anyone else is looking for the Sutherland family.
