I am looking for information on a Thomas Fraser, he married Ann Fraser, don't has his age or marriage date but they were born and married in this area. They had a son John who was born about 1875, he married Helen Cushnie, on the 1901 census John was aged 26 years, it looks like from the census return he was born Westlis, but I can't be sure. I have had 1901 census rescanned but it isn't much clearer. John and Helen are buried in Mitchell Hill Cemetery, Dingwall. I have tried looking on s/p website at 1891,1881 census also looked on Ancestry.

Hi

Just a thought - could it be Resolis, which is on the Black Isle, north east of Dingwall? 

Maybe you could put a snip of it up here.

Hi again

Just looked and I do think it's Resolis - see attached snip.

Are you sure the John Fraser on the 1901 is your John?  As there is an entry for a John Fraser, born December 1874 at Resolis to a William and Margaret Fraser 


Added - there is also a birth of a John Fraser , Dingwall, 6 May 1874 to an Ann Fraser.

Does like Resolis doesn't it, Gadget.

Ann, what did it say on John's marriage entry regarding his father Thomas?

Just adding this index entry from 1874 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FQ6P-6Z6  Always the possibility that parents were unmarried.

ADDED: Yep, that is what I was thinking too. Can't see a Thomas and Ann, except some earlier births for Thomas and Ann (Holmes).

Think we cross posted, Monica. I was looking at that one too as the Resolis one doesn't seem to fit.

We need the marriage cert

Some family trees have Helen Cushnie as still single in 1901 http://person.ancestry.co.uk/tree/11242468/person/13652488139/facts

The marriage looks to be in Dingwall in 1905, with Helen showing as Nellie on the index.
