Hi Flora
Thanks for the welcome & the info.
Was aware of the birth in 1791 but cannot work out the connection!.
William/Sutherland ,name of Philip 3rd child suggests a Sutherland connection somewhere, (Why not Brims or Gerry?)
ie Brims /Sutherland marriage .
Sutherland/Philip Marriage!
maybe info in Kirk session somewhere!
Regards Colin

Hi Colin, why do you think your Elizabeth was born Thurso ?, because there's Elizabeth Brims born Watten 6 April 1790, her parents are Henry Brims and Janet SUTHERLAND, I think this one makes more sense. this info' from freereg, Flora

Hi Coin, thank you, can you give me the names of your William's siblings, I put a search in on scotlandspeople with William Sutherland Phillip, parents James and Elizabeth and got a hit 1834 Greenock but it wont accept Brims for Elizabeth, this maybe that her maiden name wasn't given , then with the same info and no child's name this gave me three hits for Renfrew, your William = Greenock Renfrew and two others James and Robert both born 1822 @ Abbey Renfrew still will not accept Brims for Elizabeth. If these are William's siblings this would suggest Elizabeth's father was either James or Robert if they followed the Scotish naming pattern, to complicate things even further there is a James Phillip born Leith South 1796 Father Robert Mother Mary.
