    Default William Sutherland born March 24, 1824 Caithness

    Looking for the specific birthplace of William Sutherland born March 24, 1824, Caithness. Married a woman by the first name of Margaret (surname unknown) who was Orkadian by birth born May 1832. These 2 individuals settled in Belleville, Ontario, Canada in the 1850's? It is believed that this William Sutherland was a direct relation to a Captain Sutherland who sailed the Great Lakes of Canada. Any help will be most appreciated.

    Hi. Approx 14 plus William Sutherland b 1824 in Caithness. none showing 24 Mar 1824.
    Where did his birthdate/county come from and was it birth or baptism.?
    Did he marry Margaret in Caithness? There at least 4 William S marriages to Marg in Caithness and 2 in Orkney between 1845-1855.
    Have you any other info eg did they have children - sometimes a clue in the names of 1st born.

    Captain Sutherland(Great Lakes) : ???? James Sutherland, born 2 April 1803 in Walls and Flotta, Orkney c 26-6-1803; died 12 March 1857 in Desjardins Canal Bridge, Ontario. THAT may be wrong I believe he was 1803 born in HOY.

    Toronto Records: Capt James ;He had a son Donald George 12 Ap 1839 who followed his father then became a minister .
    Below needs checking.
    James b 1803 in Hoy : his g'parents from Olrig Caithness: Alex Sutherland and Janet Budge
    BUDGE JANET SUTHERLAND ALEXR. OM 13 NOV 1766 Olrig Caithness ALEXR. SUTHERLAND/
    - they moved to Orkney. Perhaps you William could be born to one of their sons?
