What age was given for him at marriage, Gadget? He died in July 1959 according to his MI http://gravestones.rosscromartyroots.co.uk/picture/number11305.asp

I have found the 1's you are mentioning, I do know that Ann's maiden name was Fraser. Also know that John and Helen married 1905. As you said in your reply her name was recorded as Nellie. I at the moment don't have credits to view John's birth.

Hi Ann

Gadget and I started working off the 1901 census entry that you mentioned in your first post. Looks like that is not connected to John given he didn't marry Helen until 1905. It is the 1911 census that is relevant for him to try to confirm his birth place. Have you got this entry?

The 1881 census shows that the Resolis John is definitely not the correct John.

Blarblair, Resolis  - parents William and Margaret.

I have the 1911 census for John and Helen, it states they were born Rosshire, Dingwall. Address 3 Clare Place, Dingwall.

Just following up on that possible 1875 birth with just mother Ann Fraser. I thought this might be her and young John with her father in 1880:

Thomas Fraser 60 farm lab b. Kilmorack G, Inverness
Ann Fraser 35 daughter Out Door Farm Worker b. Kilmorack G, Inverness
John Fraser 10 grandson b. Kiltearn
John Fraser 3 grandson b. Kiltearn

Address: Clyne Rd. Clyne, Kiltearn, R&C

Maybe this John in 1901:

John Fraser 26 b. Kiltearn working as a Groom (domestic) at Coach Stables Rosehaugh, Avoch, R&C.
Thought this occupation may connect with what you mentioned Gadget from the 1905 cert, where John showed as a coachman.

Added: Think I am mixing up two potential births. There is the one from 1874 in Dingwall with just mother Ann Fraser indexed above.  There is also one for a John from Kiltearn, a possible birth entry in Kiltearn in 1877.

Looks a strong possible, Monica. Especially with grandfather, Thomas
