Hi aneta

I think I've nearly exhausted what I can tell you.

The only baptism for a Henry Sutherland(Catherine's father) in Latheron 1750-1783 was

1 March 1775 son of William Sutherland.

There are quite a few Alexander's.

Hello aneta

I've looked at my sources for emigration and can't pinpoint your William. When did he marry?

It might  be worth you posting on our Emigrants to Australia board:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,165.0.html

There are some very knowledgeable people there who. I'm sure, would help you find more information about him.

Hi, this post has helped fill in some of my research too. Robert Sutherland born 1851 and his wife Margaret born 1862 went on to have more children, one of them being Adam Sutherland, born 1895 who was my grandfather.

Hi,
 We have an Alexander Sutherland who married a Jane Oliver on the 24/12/1831 at Latheron and I am wondering whether Alexander could be a cousin to your Alexander. The couple had five children, all born in Caithness and they arrived in NZ in 1856.  A younger brother of Jane Oliver, William, emigrated to Australia and he later died in Berridale, a small country town south of Sydney.  I am sure they would have known of each other as we have family letters written to William and they mentioned the local people in Latheron who emigrated either to Australia or New Zealand.
