New Zealand Completed Requests / Sultan Farm Lincoln CHCH
« on: Thursday 25 October 12 06:13 BST (UK)  »
Death notice for James Sutherland in Press  15 May 1871 says he died at the residence of his brother in law,  Sultan Farm Lincoln. Have googled and googled and nothing coming up for Sultan Farm. I would like to know whether the farm still exists, and would it have been owned or leased by my great great grandfather Charles Fraser back in 1871 and where I would find that information. James Sutherland was brother of Elizabeth Sutherland who was wife of  Charles Fraser...Going by where children of Charles and Elizabeth were born It appears Charles and Elizabeth were at Sultan Farm from Possibly 1867-1875 Marriage in 1867 has Charles occupation as farmer. Their last child was born 1876 Windmill Road Sydenham

Any info on Sultan Farm would be most appreciated
Many thanks

Thanks Minniehaha. Will keep searching for a man..... haha

Thanks to all the others on this list who have taken time out to help me search.  I am on the right track now. Learnt a valuable lesson along the way. Next time I will post a copy of the signature if I am not 100% sure, although I did think I had read it right.

Many thanks again to you all. I will post an update if I find my man.

The other witness was M.  Fraser  of Sydenham.. I took this to be Mary Fraser, sister of the bride, who married Robert Henry Davidson the following year.

The other witness had no occupation listed, just an address of New Brighton.

I have George  Alexander Sutherland born 1872 who appears to have added 3rd christian name to become George Alexander Douglas Sutherland. Have looked through NZ BDMs but can't find any other possibilities.

Attaching witness signature in case I am reading it wrong. Have not attached anything before so fingers crossed it works.

Hi minniehaha,  I  can understand why you are confused. When I originally posted my query I did not know at that stage who Elizabeth Fraser, nee Sutherlands parents were. Since then I have connected all the family together from BDMs, newspaper notices, electoral rolls and cemetery records etc in NZ and tried to find all the family in Caithness as well. Not an easy task and feel I may be missing some  of them in Caithness. Still looking for Eva W Sutherland, friend or family, witness at wedding of Jessie Fraser in 1895.
