Moray (Elginshire) / Re: COMPLETED - 96 and 98 High Street, Elgin in early 1900s

The Mary Byatt book on Elgin's High Street and Closes is full of errors and guess work. Always better to find the source yourself in this case. There was a inn about the position of Specsavers in the mid 1700s called the Cross Keys.

Hi don't know if this will help and it's a long time since the question was posted but...

William Sutherland of Roscommon and his wife Lady Helen Duff were alive and well in 1728, where they witnessed the baptisim of William Sutherland (14/11/1728), son to Laurence Sutherland of Greenhall, merchant in Elgin. [O.P.R. Births 135/00 0020 0445 Elgin]

Errik/Eric name comes through Kenneth Sutherland 3rd Lord Duffus' son, which he had after having to leave British shores disgraced after 1717, while in service with the Russian navy as an admiral. Errik returned to Scotland later in 1734. The house of lords refused a request by him to regain his fathers title.
