Scotland / Re: A grandfather who had no children???
« on: Sunday 13 September 09 05:01 BST (UK)  »
Just an update from Morayshire - the possibility of a link between Errick and his grandparents is said to have originated from a document referred to as, "an instrument of resignation ad remanentium" and which is recorded in the particular register of sasines for Elgin and Nairn, and dated 19 August 1813. In turn, a sasine is an act of taking possession of feudal property. All this is related to some legal decision made in favour of Errick, who was the procurator for George Kay over a third part of the lands of Roseisle in Duffus. I am in process of trying to obtain a copy of this document, but who knows whether or not the family information we are seeking will be revealed within. Keep your fingers crossed. Regards, Frank

I, too, would like to solve this frustrating mystery. As far as I can see the "grandfather" link between Errick and William of Roscommon is a pure red herring. I have approached the Libindx people in Morayshire several times, but the unavailability of the records seems to be an ongoing problem. In addition, several Sutherland family documents and trees state that William of Roscommon died without issue (dsp or decessit sine prole). Obviously many families have had a good reason to link Errick with the preceding generations; or was it wishful thinking? My interest in this is through my daughter-in-law and the Sutherlands in India.
One other thing - Gwend mentioned siblings Robert, Eliza , Mary and Amelia, but I can't find anything about them.
Best regards, Frank, Melbourne
