McClelland Bicker(1890) and Janet Anderson Maurer(1890-1932) They had William (1923-1987) Joseph, James, Charles , Peter and a daughter whos name I don't know They were resident in Ayr/Prestwick area till Janet Maurer died and Wm re-married Margaret Waugh Craig in 1932 at Blythswood, Glasgow.
Hi, so after realising how closely we are related, I have been reading your other posts. I only found this site today so if you have any unanswerd question I can help with I will try. I also know nothing about this side of the family and can not work out where they fit in. I would be keen to find out.
So as per your other post,
Daughter May Stout Fraser (1888-1950)born Cambuslang who was my Gran. They moved to Clydebank There was also a son William McIntosh Fraser and I can't find out any info on him at all. I do have a book he owned published about1923 so I believe he was alive then.
I found it amussing that these two Wm's were marride in the same place just a couple of years apart and to girls with the same surname.
please see the attachment.
I noticed the the Minister signs it as "Minister to the Deaf", and wonder if one of them was. I also wonderd if that might be another avenue of resarch, as the probably keept records about that.
I remember my mother Mary Mckay Hume grand daughter of Mary /Wm. Fraser meeting with a relative who was both deaf and dumb . that would be about 1955ish in Glasgow My wife is a Bicker and she knew that she had french ancesters. that started me on this quest and todate ive found the Maure and Muntce who moved to New Luce Wigtownshire My next quuest is to find out where in Alsace on the French/German border they came from
