John Mathieson, 1881 census listed birthplace as Sunderland, England but family knowledge says he was born in the "north" and I believe it to be Creich, Sutherland where he was born about 1839. Married Helen (Ellen) Arthur Caldow on 31 Dec 1869 in Auchinleck, Ayrshire. Any infromation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
