We need to find a marriage and/or the death of Frederick Augustus' wife! And of course Charles' birth - I can't find him on either FreeBMD or the GRO index.

Obviously, I had a rare 'off-day', as I don't usually tend to miss such things, but at least I didn't have such an 'off-day' on the other useful finds I posted.

Isn't it great, though, that on Rootschat, there are many wonderful volunteers, who usually work well together as a 'team', and if one 'misses' something, another usually 'finds' it. After all, it's 'teamwork' that makes Rootschat great and there are none of us perfect.

Scotmum, you are always pretty amazing on an 'off-day'....unlike me when I am tired and completely lose the plot!

And your are right, it is the working together on others' puzzles that makes RC so rewarding and engaging

Charles and Williamina's marriage certificate list:-
Charles Simon Fraser, 17 Larch Street Dundee, Father: Frederick Augustus Fraser, Mother: Margaret Fraser, nee Kin? can't read it, deceased
Williamina Stewart, Logie Brae, Lochee Road Dundee, Father: James Stewart deceased, Mother: Elspeth Stewart nee Young.

I can't easily see any children up to 1875 on Family search for James Stewart and wife Elspeth Young. Maybe they left Scotland after their marriage, explaining why Williamina was potentially born abroad?

There is this marriage that might fit for Williamina's parents in 1868 New Hills Aberdeen, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XTJM-725

Adding snip from 1892 MC with parents' names for Charles and Williamina. Charles' mother's maiden name is tricky. Can't see anything close to it SP 

Charles and Williamina don't seem to have used any obvious naming pattern have they for their children do they. We have I think William 1892 , Charles Simon 1893 , Alice and Williamica 1900 (twins). A few years gap isn't there between Charles Simon and the twins.

Hi Dotty

Were Williamina's parents showing the same as you had on her death cert?

Yes exactly the same
