Re: Rachel Shaina's Keep Up Yourself Congrats Round 2
in reply to a message by Rachel Shaina
Surname: Sutherland
DH: Robert David (27)
DW: Catherine Frances (23)
DD: Margaret Rose (5, b. 1900)
DS/DS: James Robert (3, b. 1902) & Richard Archibald (deceased - stillborn, 1902)
DD: Grace (deceased - stillborn, 1904)
DD: Agatha Grace (nb)
Since the birth of their fifth child in 1905 the Sutherlands have fallen on hard times. With work thin on the ground in the Western Highlands, Robert has been forced to take on seasonal work in Glasgow leaving behind his young wife to bring up their children more or less alone.
However Catherine is still struggling to cope with the loss of two of her children who arrived stillborn in 1902 and 1904 (tragedies which had previously pushed her to the brink of depression) and so her widowed sister, Elizabeth, has moved in with the family in a bid to help her sister with the running of the home.
