I am descended from Donald and Sally Wapisk through their son William who married Catherine Anderson Sutherland and emigrated to Australia between 1856 and 1859.They settled at Inglewood in south-west Queensland and added to their Scottish family with the birth of my grandfather Macdonald Weir Sutherland in 1859.
They also had a daughter, Sally Wapisk in 1856 in Great Britain  who came to Australia and married a George Smith in 1895.

I and others have tried to establish what happened to Donald's son Sinclair, also born Winnipeg River North America around 1816. So far to no avail.

I am also a descendant of Donald and Sally. Their son William and his wife Catherine Anderson Sutherland were brought to Australia between 1856 and 1859, by his sister Isabella. They had a daughter Sally Wapisk in 1856 born in the UK. She married George Smith in 1985. I haven't been able to find much on the but both are buried in Lutwyche Cemetery Brisbane and I have photos of their Grave site. Still trying to get back to research and will seek a copy of his journal.

Hi everyone,

I am a also a descendant of Donald and Sally through their son William; our line of the family ended up in New Zealand. I am picking up on the research started by my Fathers cousin and would be interested in sharing any information on Donald and Sally and the generations before or after.

I have a "translated" copy of Donald's Berens River House journal which is fascinating reading and I think Dad's cousin has more journals from other posts held by Donald. There is only one mention of Sally in the journal I have saying that she trapped a fox.

You guys may have copies of these journals already but if not I would be happy to scan you what I have.

What I would be most interested in is any information or leads on Donald's parents through the parish records? I believe I read somewhere that he may have been born in Durness?

Kind Regards,

Hamish
