Emigration England to South Africa
« on: Saturday 02 July 11 20:57 BST (UK) »
Hi! Can any body help?
I am trying to find the record of the emigration of the following family from England to South Africa:
George Arthur Foster Sutherland ( born between 1872 and 1876 in Yorkshire England)
His wife Marion Sutherland ( born between 1871 and 1873 in Inverness Scotland)
They married 18 August 1894 in Worsley, Lancashire
Their children were:
Charles Edward Roderick Sutherland born 20th September 1894 at Worsley
Margaret Ann Sutherland born Q4 1898 at Leeds.
In the 1901 census they were living at Leeds. However, the father, G A F Sutherland was not present suggesting he emigrated before 1901. They were definitely in Johanesburg in October 1909 as I have the birth certificate of another daughter.
Finally G A F Sutherland had a father called George and in the 1909 birth in Johanesburg birth certificate he is recorded as Arthur Foster Sutherland.
Thanks in anticipation of your help
Regards
Brian

Hi CaroleW,
I have tried the 'findmypast' website which is the same as 'Ancestors on board' website.

The problem is that most of the Sutherland that went to South Africa only had their initials recorded on the Passenger list.

Hence my need for help
Regards
Brian

Hi Brian

Are you still looking for information on George and Marion Sutherland?  I am one of their many great grandchildren.

Please can you also advise what your interest in the family is or how you are connected to us.
Thanks
