Hi Elizabeth

The only that I can find on the SP site apart from the one you mentioned which was in Stirling is this one:

2 December 1783 John Sutherland to Barbara Campbell, Durness
GROS Ref - 48/1

It's a poss and in the right county but no Isabellas in sight.

But it could have been an irregular marriage or just not recorded.

Not sure what you mean about info from Inverness, Elizabeth, or paying for a search 

Would you like me to have a look for the Gordons? If so what dates and places?

Hi Elizabeth

There is an extract from the OPRs on IGI for the following marriage:

JOHN SUTHERLAND  Marriages: Spouse: ISOBEL CAMPBLE    
Marriage:  02 JUL 1755  Dornoch, Sutherland, Scotland

Two things to watch out for when searching for the birth/christening details of their children:

1. Quite often only the father's details were included. There are for example a number of birth entries for Margaret Sutherlands in Sutherland with only father John Sutherland's name showing, no mother's details.

2. In a number of counties, OPRs before certain dates are not available. Have a look at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountySutherland.htm#K
This gives you some idea on dates by county for Sutherland for births/marriages.

Regards.

ADDED: I've just realised you have details of the 1755 marriage in your first post........I think I need more coffee this morning!

[aspin]

Enjoy your coffee I am having mine

Yes 1755 is too early for these people to be mine
as the birth of Margaret is 1791

Do you know that Isabella and Elizabeth are interchangeable names for that time.  Look for your ancestors as John and Elizabeth/Isobel/Bella and see if it helps.
