Thank You, Yes John Sutherland, would have been my mothers Grandfather, it's confusing because the Mcknights also lived in Killarney street Belfast, for a time, and it looks like that's where her mother met her father.

          The following is speculative but may be relevant.

John Alexander Sutherland was born on 9 Oct 1872 to James Sutherland and Jane Anna Porter in Crumlin, Co.Antrim. James Sutherland and Jane Porter married on 11 Jul 1871 in Killead Presbyterian Church, Co. Antrim. Fathers were John Sutherland and Samuel Porter.
