I'm trying to find birth details for Ann Sutherland born c1807. She was married to Donald Corrigall in 1827 in South Walls and died there in 1878 (parents given as Adam and Jessie Sutherland). Despite having these details I can't find anything about her birth or her mother. Can anyone help?
Thanks, J

looks like her mother was jannet sutherland,( parents of brother thomas on the igi are adam sutherland and jannet sutherland ) both adam and jannet are still alive on the 1851 census ( she is born in walls ), adam died in 1856 aged 78 at north seatter, walls his parents were henry sutherland and osla ballenden ( there are a few different spellings of her name ie ballantyne, ballentine etc )not found a birth for anne yet though
should also add that adam is buried in osmondwall, but no sign of a monumental inscription for him, just the one below
Erected by the family in memory of DONALD CORRIGALL who died 9th Sept 1868 aged 72 years. ANN SUTHERLAND his wife died 4th Dec 1878 aged 7? Years.

there are 2 families with the parents names as donald and christina ( lots of sutherlands in that area ) so a bit tricky to sort out whos who, 1 family stayed in walls and your lizzies family seem to have gone to kirkwall
