Frasers of Kilarlity
« on: Sunday 19 June 11 08:47 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone.  I am wondering if anyone could please see if there is any information of a James Fraser and an Isabella McFarquar.  Their daughter Helen 'Nelly' Fraser (my gggrandmother who married a William Fraser)  was born in 1803 and I do not know if there were other siblings or when they were married.  Any information would be fantastic.  Thank you.

Anne Fraser 16 Sept 1795
Colin Fraser 8 Feb 1798

All bpt. Kilearnan/Killiernan

Hello Malky, thank you for such a quick reply....The year I have for her birth is 1803 ...she married in 1823 and died in 1870... according to ancestry records...always a possibility that it is wrong.....would appreciate the 2 births anyway, if they are the same parents as hers ...thank you so much...

Go onto a Google search and copy Kilarlity in the search box. Then look at the second entry.
You may find some information there.
Then copy Frasers of Kiltarlity into the Google search box. The first two entries may be usefull also.

I would post the actual web sites, but they will be removed by the mod's, as they are competitors.

Regards

Malky

Thank you very much Malky.  It didn't yield me much unfortunately.  Could anyone please see if there is anything on either James or Isabella, a marriage or birth at all.  I have nothing to go on to who their parents might be.  Thank you all very much.
