I'm posting this info again and I'm really seeking some help and hoping somebody out there may know something?

My grandfather Alexander Sutherland was born in 1889 in Westerdale, Caithness.
HIS father was James Sutherland born in 1860
and James married Cathrine who was born in 1861

They also had the following children (Alexanders siblings)

Harrieta born 1882
Hugh born 1887
Donald born 1890
Cathrine born 1892
George born 1893
John born 1895
Margaret born 1897
David - 1901

Pleeeease! Does anyone know anything about this family?
I know that Alexander, my grandfather emigrated to New Zealand, whether as a child or an adult I dont know. But he was still there in 1901 when they did the census I know that much.

Alexanders grandparents were:

James Sutherland 1823 - married Margaret Lowrie/McIntosh

Then Donald Sutherland born 1786 - married Isabella Budge

Then Charles Sutherland born 1750 - married Cathrine Gordon

THere just HAS to be more family inbetween all these - their children, anything?

Could someone help me find more info?

Please?

Have you checked findmypast.co.uk for him in their emigration records. I found an A Sutherland leaving from London for Wellington in 1912.
