Fraser's from Pitsligo
« on: Friday 12 August 05 13:01 BST (UK) »
I am new to the group so thought I would start off with what I have so far on the Fraser side of the family.

Alexander Fraser (born abt 1778 Headroom, Pitsligo-Married Jean Bruce on 17/7/1803 in Pitsligo. They had Two sons: -
(1)George, born 2/11/1804 in Peathill, Pitsligo-Married Mary Adams about 1827.

William Fraser, born 31/12/1830 in Peathill, Pitsligo-Married Jean Shearer on 30/7/1854 in Rosehearty, Pitsligo. They had 11 children:- William(1854-1926)-John(1856-?)-Andrew(1858-?)-George(1860-?)-Edward(1862-?)-Alexander(1865-?)-Adam(1867-?)-Mary(1870-?)-James(1872-?)-Thurlow91875-1892) and Charles.

(2)Alexander Fraser, born 24/10/1806, married Margaret Gill on 11/2/1827 in Fraserburgh. They had five children -Samuel (1828-1914)-Margaret (1834)-Alexander (1839-1869)-Jean (1837) and Penelope (1841)

Samuel Fraser, born 1828, married Ann Fraser on 5/12/1850 in St Fergus. They had 11 children-Elizabeth Ann Roy (1851)-Angus(1853)-Samuel(1855-1933)-Margaret(1857)-Alice Jane(1860)-Isabella(1862-1899)-Alexander(1864)-William Watt(1865)-Sophia(1868-1889)-Helen(1870)- and Busfield(1872-1920)

I would be interested to hear from any one who has connections with any of the above, particularly in going back further to Alexander (1778) his marriage certificate just states where and when married, no particulars of parents.

Hello Bill

I am the Great Grand Daughter of James Fraser (1850) and Elizabeth Smith (1849).  My Grandfather was James's son William Fraser (1876-1957) who married Helen Simpson (1876-1945 of Peterhead).  So far I also have not been able to go further back than Alexander and Jean Bruce either.  My Grandparents immigrated to Canada.  I am interested in learning more of the family as nothing was ever discussed about any of them during my life.

Hello Bill 
Thanks for your reply.  The information regarding the children of William Fraser and Helen Simpson is William Alexander Fraser married Hazel Bartley 1945.  Sorry I could not help with anything past Alexander, but time may help with that also.
