Cormack and Sutherland families
I have come to a grinding halt researching this side of the family - hope someone can help!
My great grandmother, Catherine Sutherland married Donald Cormack in Edinburgh in 1874, but they were both from Caithness originally. Donald's parents were, I think Donald Cormack and Elizabeth Bain who married in Feb 1848; Catherine's were John Sutherland and Isabella Sutherland who married in Dec 1830.
However I can't find their dates of birth anywhere, although I presume they were borm between 1845 and 1850. Latheron, Keiss and Wick are the areas I think they were born in, but their common names don't help! Neither does a Sutherland marrying a Sutherland!
Finally, Catherine died in Keiss on 11 July 1932 - does anyone know of her resting place? Suspicions are that she has a pauper's grave, but I'm not sure!
Any help or guidance would be really appreciated!

I'm still working on it!!

I think it's the 1874 ones
Hi, there!
Thank you all again for your help. I do believe my ancestors married in 1874 in Edinburgh, but their journey to the capital did not last long and they went back to Keiss. I understand that illness made them return.
As to their births, I can find no definitive record! So many Sutherlands and Cormacks married.
Still, i live in hope!
