Buchan obvserver 1949

Does anyone have access to the Buchan Observer of 18th April 1949.  I understand there is an item on this date regarding a James Sutherland. Peterhead.
I would be interested to know if this is the James Sutherland, some of Thomas Sutherland, whom I have been trying to find for several years. MANY THANKS

There are items published throughout April 1949 referring to a Displenish Sale at Pitbirn St Fergus for a Messrs James Sutherland (Peterhead Ltd). and for sale are livestock and agricultural implements.

[AlanBoyd]

Upon closer inspection I realise that the various items from the April dates refer to several different sales:

5th April – Auchmaud, Ellon

12th April – Newseat, St Fergus
12th April – Auchmaud, Ellon

19th April – Pitbirn, St Fergus

26th April – Auchtydore, Longside
26th April – Blackhills, Rora, Longside

Many thanks for taking the trouble to look at the item for me,  I dont think it is the James Sutherland I am looking for.  It is a common name which doesnt help. I attach a photo of father and sons Sutherland taken during the first world war.  I only knew of James when I found the family in Abedeen in 1901 and have never found his birth or anything else about him.  He may have died during the war.  I did find deaths of the father Thomas and the othe son Thomas, but James seems to have escaped me.  James is on the left with soldiers uniform, Father in the middle, a marine Engineer and brother Thomas who was Naval reserve.
Once again, thanks for your help.

Using the free indices at Scotlands People I can see:

Thomas Sutherland 35, St Nicholas, Aberdeen ref 168/122/28
Jane Sutherland 38, St Nicholas, Aberdeen ref 168/122/28
James Sutherland 13, St Nicholas, Aberdeen ref 168/122/28
Thomas C Sutherland 8, St Nicholas, Aberdeen ref 168/122/28

I imagine that the identical refs mean that they are one family. It's 6 credits to see the record.

added: they are the only four who match in 1901 Sutherland/Aberdeen/St Nicholas with that ref. no.

Yes that is the same reference number the original on Scotlandspeople

What was the maiden surname of Jane Sutherland, wife of Thomas senior and presumably mother of James and of Thomas junior?

[jessienicolson]

Thanks to all for replying to me.  Yes in the 1901 census the family were living in Constitution Street, Aberdeen, thats when I realies there was a son James.
Thomas Sutherland Snr married Jane Reid, but she died in 1906 and the family appear to have moved up to Peterhead, probably because Thos Snr was a marine engineer.  He did remarry and moved down to Grimsby.
