Sutherland / Lairg Free Church Records
« on: Saturday 13 May 23 02:21 BST (UK)  »
Hi 👋

You’ve all been so helpful to me in the past and I am hoping you can help me again.
I recently found new records on find my past that have the Lairg Free Church records. I’ve found both a birth and a death certificate in those records. But I am unsure of how to view the actual records.

Can anyone give me some direction of where I can find this book online? Or can I order copies? I did look on Scotland people and the records are not there. I emailed them and they very kindly review the transcripts and sent me the info confirming it was the family I was looking for. But she had no extra info.

I’ll include my family info just in case someone can help and I am across the world with a big time difference.

Birth - LEXIE SUTHERLAND - Dec 15, 1846 to Donald Sutherland and Isabel Gordon

Death - ISABEL GORDON - May 24, 1848

Hi. I am looking for some direction. My 3x GG Elizabeth Mackay born 1867 was buried in Canisbay Cemetery in 1931. How would I go about finding out where she is located. Can I just email the church? Or is there an online database? Any direction would be appreciated. Also any added info on this cemetery would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Sutherland / Alexanderina Sutherland 1847-Lairg
« on: Thursday 15 April 21 05:05 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find my many times great grandmothers on Scotland people and I’m not having any luck.

She was born to Donald Sutherland and isabel (Isabella) Gordon in Lairg in 1847? I have her listed as Lexy Sutherland in the 1851 census with her dad Donald. No record of Isabella in that census but has Donald listed as a widow. I also can’t seem to find Isabel death records.

I seem to have hit a brick wall. I can find most of the kids on SP but not this one. Is there anywhere else to look? Or would someone be willing to help me find it. I’ll use my credits but I can’t find anything.
I only know of her name cause I dug out the record of her child’s birth in 1867. That records has her parents down. As the above names but no record of birth. All the other kids are there though so I’m so confused.

Any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Caithness / Elizabeth Mackay - 1867-1931

I have hit a brick wall and am so confused. If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it.

My 3x Great grandmother was named Elizabeth Mackay she was born between 1865-1868 her fathers name was Robert Mackay he was married to ??? Sutherland. When I am reading her death certificate I can't read the first name of her mother and I cant seem to find where she was born.

There is no marriage certificate that I can find. It looks like she had 7-8 illegitimate children between 1890-1908. On some of the marriage certificates for her children she had a maiden name of Sinclair but I am not sure about that as I can find her in the census at 23 years old and she is a mackay then and has 2 children, living as servant and single.

Does anyone have any advice on how to read the name for her death certificate? Also how would i add the photo to show you what it says. Really any advice you can give me to move forward would be great.
