Biography

Ann Sutherland is a member of Clan Sutherland.

Ann Sutherland is assumed to have been born in Caithness, probably Latheron, between 1756 and 1761 ^[1]

The birth date is based on the assumption that Ann is the Ann Sutherland with James & Margaret Cormack at Forse, Latheron in the 1841 census^[2], Margaret being her daughter ^[3]

However for the children shown as belonging to the family even 1756 seems a tad on the late side so all dates and identifications should be treated with caution Henderson-2297 01:19, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Research Note by John M Sutherland-FisherGenealogist of Clan Sutherland

A great deal of work has been done in recent years on the membership of the Sutherland of Blackness, Sutherland of Golsary and Sutherland of Catchery families who all descend from the main cadet branches of the Sutherland family. These three families have intermarried many times over many generations. A frequent problem is the limited use of Christian names owing to all 3 families strongly adhering to the traditional Highland Scottish naming pattern.

As a result it appears there are 2 distinct William Sutherlands married to Ann Sutherlands at exactly the same time and in broadly the same location (Parish of Latheron and adjacent parishes of Halkirk, Wick, Thurso and Canisbay). All of these locations are within a day’s walk. Please therefore do not suggest merging profiles or worse still actually merge profiles which look like the same person within these families without consulting me first. Both families have children with the same names born often within months of one another.
