Archibald Sutherland

Archibald Sutherland was the second surviving son of Nathaniel Sutherland and Marion Sutherland, and was Alister's Great Great Grandmother's half-brother.  He was born on 30 September 1849 and married Mary Turner in 1889.

Archibald farmed with his brother Nathaniel in Fordell outside of Wanganui.  Mary and Archibald had eight children:


1. Doris Kathleen Sutherland 28 July 1890.  Doris married Francis Patrick Brady in 1913 and died in 1973.  Francis was born around 1886 and died in 1961.

2. Flora McLeod Sutherland 1893.  Flora married John Worrell Langridge on 28 December 1917.  Their marriage notice in the 18 January 1918 edition of the Wanganui Chronicle records that Lieutenant J. W. Langridge and Flora McLeod Sutherland were married by Chaplain Bramires.They may have emigrated, as there is no further trace of them that I can find.  I have found some more about Flora's husband John Langridge's family - see this post.

3. Marion Isabel Sutherland 1894 - 1895 aged 6 months.

4. Raymond Archibald Sutherland 1896.  Raymond married Elizabeth Ann Reid Smaill in 1921.  He died in 1965 aged 68.  Elizabeth was born on 22 February 1898 and died in 1980.
