Help Please!! Looking for William MACKAY and Janet FRASER
« on: Monday 29 October 07 10:37 GMT (UK) »
Hello all,
I'm looking for the marriage of William MACKAY and Janet FRASER, or any clues to their origins.

William, a fisherman, and Janet had four children (that I know of) baptised in Inverness:
Marie 1709 (when the family was living in Inshes)
Andrew 1710 (my 5xgreat-grandfather, when the family was living in Moortown)
Sybilla 1712
William 1715

I've downloaded the images of the pages for Marie and Andrew, and possible family names noted among the witnesses include James MACKAY, Andrew FRASER and John FRASER.

According to the list of Old Parish Registers available on ScotlandsPeople, Inverness marriage registers are available for this period.  However, I have checked on the IGI and ScotlandsPeople for a marriage for William and Janet, and also on teh IGI to see whether the parents of either William or Janet could be worked out using the traditional naming pattern, but no luck. 

Does anyone have a suggestion of where to look next? 

Thanks for any help!  Smiley
