Sutherland & Cormack Families.

[Sandylena]

Hi There. I wonder if anyone is able to help me with my family history search for the following people.
My mother was Isabella Sutherland, who's father was George Sutherland born 1899 in the District of Wick. His mother was Isabella Jessie (Janet) Sutherland born C.1879 in Latheron.
Her parents were David Sutherland and Janet(Jessie)Sutherland nee. Bruce.They were all born in Latheron. They had 9children including Isabella Jessie. They were Catherine, David, Georgina, Janet, John,Macintosh, Robert and Williamina.
David Sutherland died in 1879 and the death was registered in 1880 when he was 42 and Janet raised the children herself.He died in Janetstown, Latheronwheel.
The 1881 census shows the family still living in Janetstown, Latheron.
David's parents were Macintosh Sutherland and Catherine Sutherland nee. Cormack.
This is as much as I have been able to find out. So I hope someone is able to help me with finding more about my family.
Thank You so much.
Sandra

Hi Sandra

This looks like it could well de Davids family in the 1841 census, Mount Pleasant was near
Upper Lybster I think.

Note that ages of people over 15 years old were usually rounded down to the nearest 5 years in the 1841 census so 35 can be 39 or somewhere in between.

District: 18 Folio: 0 Page: 17
Address: Mount Pleasant
