Hi Frank
Although submitted entries, Maclennan's entries on IGI look good. Are you concerned about the Elizabeth/Betty/Betsy variants? Don't be, have a look at this link for first name variants: www.whatsinaname.net/php/search.php?action=search2&search_name=elizabeth
Regards.

This looks like the family in the 1841 Census:
Alexander, 30
Elizabeth, 20
David, 1 month
All the family are showing as born in Caithness. Alexander is down as a farmer. The address is Greenhill, Latheron.
Remember ages in the 1841 Census are supposed to be rounded down to the nearest 5 for everyone over 15, children under 15 are supposed to be shown at their true age.
Regards.

Monica. thank you very much for all the info, much appreciated.I wonder what name she used on her marriage cert?
Frank. an old Caithnessian

There is no actual extract of the marriage showing on IGI, just the submitted entry, so hard to know. Even if she had used Elizabeth for one registration, she would well have used/put down a different variant for another entry. It can make it difficult to do searches when you have a number of variants for both first and surnames.....a sign of the times!

Hi. Looking for Donald Sutherland b.c. 1830 Latheron parents John Sutherland & Catherine ?. He m. Janet Anderson on 30/4/1841 at Latheron but cannot find it on IGI. Before he came to Australia he remarried to Mary McCracken but no details re this or death of Janet. He also had a daughter, Catherine b. 1845 Dunbeath but she did not come to Australia so could have died. In 1851 he was a serving Police Officer in Glasgow. It is thought his mother may have been Catherine Budge but not sure.
Any help would be fantastic.
Regards,
Gary,
Australia.

Hi Garry I have researched this family including your Donald and his journey through Scotland and his police service here in Australia happy to help. My connection is through his nephew William Sutherland. I can advise that Donald's mother was Katherine who was married previously to a Henderson her DC gives all the information...I am also I Australia.

Hi. Looking for Donald Sutherland .... He m. Janet Anderson on 30/4/1841 at Latheron but cannot find it on IGI.
The IGI is only a partial index to some of the original records.
You will find an image of the original marriage record in the church records at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk.
