A grandfather who had no children???

[Haninger7]

Having looked at the testament dative of Alexander Sutherland of Woodend (d. 03 Aug 1793 near Stirling), son of William Sutherland, brewer, I am now convinced that William Sutherland, brewer, was identical with William Sutherland, merchant who married Euphemia Eason.  This William was apparently the son of Thomas Sutherland of Keam and Margaret Rhind.
Alexander Sutherland of Woodend's executors were his next of kin, descendants of his grandfather, another Thomas Sutherland of Keam, by his second wife Marjory Watson.

William Sutherland of Roscommon who died in 1747 was not the same person as William Sutherland, brewer in Edinbugh, who died in 1759.

From this we have:

Hi, 

Thanks for all this information. It doesn't help in finding the ancestors of Erick Sutherland (father of Jean Sutherland who married Lewis Anderson) but it opened my eyes to the fact that the elusive link to the famous (and infamous) Sutherland family may have come through the Anderson line.

I do have the marriage of Leonard Anderson to Katherine or Marjory Sutherland, but it never occurred to me that this is where the link was. Just goes to show how you can be blind to clues in information you already have.

So I'll go hunting and see if this time I can connect the dots.

Hi everyone!

I just started tracing my family history and came across this post.  My great grand mother's grandfather was the grandson of Col John Sutherland.

I have some Sutherland family history documents that might be of interest to you and answer a lot of questions on this forum.

Do let me know if anyone is interested.  My mother obtained these documents from her grandmother in 1975.

Good day everyone,

I'm a descendant of Lt. Col. Sutherland from South Africa and have something that might be relevant here.
My great-grandfather's mother was Emma Sutherland. She was married to David Hughes from Wales. My grandfather was an accordion player and he always told me about his grandparents David and Emma who owned a hotel in Port Alfred.
Emma was the daughter of Alexander Sutherland, granddaughter of Eric Sutherland and great-granddaughter of Lt. Col Sutherland and Ushrut Begum (Bibi), Dunbar Sutherland (Hussaini).

From what I gather, Ltd. Col Sutherland's grandparents were Erick Sutherland and Ann Cumming from Alves. His parents being Eric Sutherland and Jean Lawson from Elgin.

Good day ciandlp

has anyone been able to solve the mystery around Ushrut's parents and family?

Can you please send me the documents that you refer to?

Kind regards
Dewald
