I have hit a brick wall. My ancestor Captain John Sutherland's parentage is a mystery. He was born C1786 served in the 3rd Foot or Buffs; married Catherine MacIntosh (dau of Rev. William MacIntosh of Thurso) in 1823 and was said to be a tacksman of Ulbster. Witnesses at the wedding were William Horn, Sheriff of Stircoke and Col. William Stewart. Capt Sutherland and his family came to Aust in 1839 were he was appointed Coroner. (Col. William Stewart also finished up in Aust and it was thought the two men were related. The only possible clue I have is the names of his children:
Christian after her mother
George James
William McIntosh after her father
Isabella Horn
Elizabeth Sage
Catherine
Any clues would be much appreciated
I was recently looking through a diary of a midwife of Thurso from 1786 to about 1830. (Ifound entries relating to the MacIntoshs and one for my Capt Sutherland).The film is available through the Mormon Library.
Hoping to hear from someone soon. Sorry it is so long.
