Oh dear, oh dear (and other words too rude to put down here). I have accidentally erased a document and now I don't know where I got it from!
It's an Application for Relief and I believe it is from East Lothian. The name is George Sutherland, a Shoemaker, born 22 June, 1829, according to the document. Page 1 refers to his name and last known address. It states that he was married to a Mary Cairns (born Ireland) and she died '6 years ago' (can't find a record of that); the marriage was supposedly 1863 in Tranent (again, no record to be found). The second page is dated 1890 and consists of quite a bit of narrative which seems to concentrate on their efforts to discover exactly when he was born (yes, I know, see above, but this is probably wrong as the Scotland Select Births & Baptisms gives a date for his birth of 6 Sep, 1832). They appeared to have interviewed his sister, Mary Hunter, wife of Joseph (don't worry, I have all their details) and she has no idea when he was born. She did, however, state that George's wife was "alive 2 months ago" and that he was "ill-behaved".
It would appear that George certainly was 'ill-behaved'. I found an application from his wife (Mary Hendry, NOT Mary Cairns) from 1867 in which she states he ran away from her and their 2 infants, Mary and John. Also, that they had spent 8 years previously going from place to place. They may have got together again because it looks as though there is an 1871 census for them in Row, Dumbartonshire.
As the document was a jpeg I believe it could have been from SP, but can't find it there either. (SP seems to have changed their site and only 'saved' documents can be found there whereas I probably down-loaded this immediately at the time without saving. Can anyone help me, pretty please, or tell me where else to look?
