Hi Nell,
where did you see James or Kenneth? I haven't come accross anyone.
The Moray heritage people told me that the information about Erick being the grandson of William Sutherland of Roscommon came from some title deeds. But because they had a fire, they won't be able to locate anything until the end of the summer.
Now that i was looking up the Andersons, I came accross another anomaly. Most "Anderson" of Kinnedar website mention Eric Anderson (1818 - 1866) and trace his line via Lewis ANDERSON (1773) to James ANDERSON and Margaret BAIRD and James ANDERSON to James and Isobel ANDERSON.
But the heritage centre has an inscription of a head stone, erected by Lewis in 1829, which states
Leonard ANDERSON, farmer in Kinnedar and Marjorie SUTHERLAND his wife. Stone erected by their grandson Lewis ANDERSON (in 1829), fourth son of James ANDERSON, some time farmer in Kinnedar.
Also Lewis ANDERSON, 45 years a merchant in Elgin, died 4.12.1849 aged 67 years.
Also Jean SUTHERLAND ANDERSON died Oakbank, Elgin 7.6.1881, aged 88 years.
So it seems that these people were wrong and you won't be surprised if I tell you that, of course, I can't find the people mentioned on the stone. Well, I've got Lewis, but no birth details for him.
Lesson learned is:don't believe anything you see in a family tree.
