Aberdeenshire / R C school, aberdeen
« on: Thursday 23 January 25 14:57 GMT (UK) »
I found on ancestry a James Sutherland attending the RC school, GordonStreet, Aberdeen, father Thomas Sutherland in the 1890s. Does anyone know if more information would be given on the school records as to what his fathers occupation, so that I can verify he is my James Sutherland. Many thanks

Thank you to the kind person who sent me the death notice of Francis Campbell, I did receive it, but as soon as I saved it to my file, I didnt get a chance to thank you for sending it to me. Not sure what happened on the laptop. Once again thank you.

I have a photograph of Francis William Fenton Campbell, born 1897, alongside his paents, looks as if he has just granduated. When his mother died in 1943 it states his residence was Schoolhouse, Sillyearns, Grange. Would be interested to know if he taught at the school and for how long. His mother was sister to my great grandfather. Any info would be gratefully received. Many thanks.

Unfortunately I am unable to put my hand onit at present, but I remember seeing it and he definitely wasnt on as a witness, it was his wifes relatives, I remember it well. I think James having been born approx 1887 may not have moved to Peterhead with his father and brother in 1906. I am only guessing at the moment.
Regarding the birth of my grandmother Elspet, illegitimate daughter of Jane Reid, her full name on her birth cert in 1884 is Elspet Sutherland Reid. I feel sure Thomas was her father. On the photographof Thomas Snr with James and Thomas Jr, I did notice a strong resemblance with Thos Jr and a male cousin of mine.
I am not sure which regiment James would have been with in the first world war.

the only illegitimate child of my great gradnmother Jane Reid who had the father named was JohnGray who went to live with his father John Gray. My grandmother Elspet Reid born 1884 Aberdeen did not have father named and I think Thomas Sutherland may have been the father. She was brought up by a Cormack family in Aberdeen, who lived nearby to where Jane Reid was living.
James Sutherland has been a puzzle for many years but one day all will come to light.
I thank everyone who has given me information. Thanks

Thank you for the info of the 1892 electoral roll.
I have never been able to establish if James Sutherland survived the first world war. His brother died in a hospital in England from what I think may have been the flu epedemic of 1920. He had served during the war on HMS Thalia.

Sorry, my grandmother was born 1884. All of the illegitimate children of Jane Reid,were not brought up by her. My grandmother was brought up by another family in Aberdeen where she was born. What is interesting during my family history re Janes family, and meeting people with photographs of the Reid family, there was not even one photo of Jane.
She appears to have lied about her age, making herself several years younger than she really was.
What a woman.
