Hello everyone!
I am looking to see if there is anyone out there who may have connections to my Sutherland family who lived in the fishing village of Hilton in the area of Fearn in Ross and Cromarty. Below I will post some names and dates down to the second generation. I do have details down to the sixth generation.
First I have one quick question here. How does one go about searching OPR death before 1855 for Fearn?
I am looking to find the death record of my ggg-grandfather George Sutherland who was born about 1813 and was the husband of Sophia McKenzie, daughter of George McKenzie and Sophia Skinner.
