Catherine, Did a check of the FHC BIVRI2 data disks and found the following. Could not find any marriage for your two people. The 1881 Census for Scotland gave up Alexander and Betsy combination from Edinburgh, now you have the children listed for this time frame. I could not find any of his children since the latest is 1854 and your Alex for 1931 doesn't show so listed all Sutherlands for Ross And Cromarty, Scotland Hope this is some help in finding your lost family.
