Re: Alexander Sutherland, died 1831 Ref 26634

Unfortunately, this Alexander was not an ancestor of mine, although they were born and died about the same times - and both were occupied by publishing (mine was a bookbinder). This Alexander was: Alexander Sutherland, Author, Editor of the Edinburgh Observer and a Lieutenant in the Forfar Militia. He wrote Tales of a Pilgrim, History of the Knights of Malta and other works. He was born in Edinburgh on 31 Mar 1794, the son of John Sutherland and Janet Adams and died on 30 Jun 1831, age 37. He married Elizabeth Sutherland - the daughter of yet another Alexander Sutherland - and Mary Dallas, on 29 May 1825. They had three daughters: Helen Stuart Sutherland, b. 2 Apr 1826; Mary Elizabeth Sutherland, b. 31 Dec 1828 and Alexandrina Sutherland, b. 2 Jul 1831. The last mentioned born just two days after his death... poor Elizabeth!Regards,Norman Sutherlandnrs3577@gmail.com
