You are amazing, thank you so much. In order to get more on James Blackhall and why he was in prison, unfortunately I dont deal with paypal, so will have to ask a cousin of mine if she is able to do this for me.
Once again thank you.

Once again thank you for all the details about James Sutherland, I dont suppose you would know the details of why he was imprisoned. 

thank u

Yes he is.

I have in my possession a photograph of a father and two sons, taken during the first world war. ie father Thomas Sutherland, one son Thomas Sutherland in a naval reserve uniform and I presume another son ie James Sutherland in a army uniform.  I have details of both Thomas Sutherland Senior and Thomas Sutherland junior.  The only information I have of James Sutherland is from a 1901 census in Aberdeen, when he is listed with both parents, ie mother was Jane, and his sibling Thomas.  It states James Sutherland was born around 1887 in Glasgow, presumably to father Thomas Sutherland and mother Jane Reid, who were married in 1891 in Glasgow.  Thomas senior was a marine engineer.  Thomas Junior died about 1920 in an english hospital, of breathing problems, so I am thinking maybe he had spanish flu.  Thomas; Senior died in1933 in Grimsby.  To date I have never been able to find out any birth, of James Sutherland.  Not sure if he maybe died during the first world war.  Such a common surname in Peterhead.  Any help would be appreciated
