Hello
I have had no luck in my searches at Ancestry.co.uk and therefore would be grateful if others with more experience could try searching for my gt-gt grandfather John Fraser and his Parents and siblings in the 1841 census. John Fraser was born in 1834 Saucher, Collace Perthshire. I know from his marriage certificate (1855 Kirkton of Lethendy, where residence given as Tullyneddie, Clunie and occupation Shoemaker), that his parents were William Fraser (Linen Weaver) and Amelia Fraser (nee Henderson). From IGI possible brothers are William (1832), Agnes (1834), Amelia (1838).
I think I have found his Father, Mother and sister Amelia in the 1851 (where Mother and Sisters names are mis-spelt). William Fraser (Hand Loom Linen Weaver) b.abt 1783 Redgorton Perthshire, Emilda Fraser (Wife) b.abt 1811 Kinnaird, Perthshire, Emilla Fraser (Dau), b.abt 1839 Collace Perthshire. Address is village of Saucher. (Collace ED 3, Line 13)
I have tried variations of the surname with no luck. I am guessing it might be a mistranscription of the surname in the census that is not bringing up any appropriate matches for John, his parents or siblings (either that or I am doing something wrong!)
Any help would be appreciated.
Roy
