I have a reference I will quote:
"James [Sutherland] the miller flourished about 200 years ago. He is mentioned in the rent roll of the Estate of Forse. He had at least three brothers, Donald, Charles and George. They all left descendants. Donald was an elder in Latheron church and his name appears often in the church session book. A remarkable record of his life was told me by several people. They said he paid eighty rents for the Borgue of Ousdale and lived there married to the one wife for eighty years. The couple must have both lived to a great age"
From Sutherlands of Ngaipu by Alex Sutherland. Published, New Zealand 1947 Narrative 1939 by Mr John Sutherland, Lybster, Caithness, pgs 137 & 138.
Query: Does anyone know where the records refered to are now located and is it possible to view them i.e.the rent roll of the Estate of Forse and the church session book of the Latheron church?
Thank you Christina
