Scotland / Re: A grandfather who had no children???

Hi JoHughes,
I have just recently learned of the connection to the Knysna Sutherlands, and have gathered a bit of information re the RSA Sutherlands, but certainly by no means comprehensive. On MyHeritage there is an Ian Sutherland who has extensive info particularly in the South African connection.
My personal connection is through my paternal grandmother who's birth name was Sutherland. Only ever know her father as John Sutherland - whom I now believe to be the youngest son of Eric Sutherland and Caroline Rice (wishing to find more information on Caroline but she seems to be a brick wall). Eric was the son of Lt Col. John Sutherland, one of two sons who remained in SA. The other was another John.
In Ian Suthland's myHeritage tree, Your Alexander Sutherland is listed as Eric and Caroline's second oldest son, born in 1854
