My 3xggrandmother is Elizabeth Ann Fraser b. 1795 Berbice Guyana. She married William Brunner in 1818 Birmingham England. I do not know who her parents were.
Through ancestry DNA I am connected via maternal side to many people (not many trees) but they all have Isle of Lewis in common some of them have 100% very recent ancestors from here, same family names crop up especially one line ‘Angus of the river MacDonald’.
I have been trying to find a connection between my Fraser and the Isle of Lewis. I am sure it is my Fraser line because all other lines can be traced further back to other areas in England.
I googled and found this thread on roots chat that looks like ‘Angus of the river’ McDonald’s grandmother (likely wife of Ranald MacDonald)may have been widowed and subsequently married a Fraser.
So thought I would investigate this theory further.
I realise this thread is from 2015 and a lot can change in that time so delighted that you have replied!
*sorry if I have confused things, the original post I saw was ‘Ranald MacDonald of Baleshare, North Uist, about 1750.
