Ayrshire / Hugh Fraser/Frazer born Girvan 1835.
« on: Friday 17 October 14 20:07 BST (UK)  »
Hi all
I have a Hugh Fraser(born about 1835 in Girvan) who married Margaret Snedden. They lived in Girvan then Ayr and had 6 children. Hugh appears to be the illigitemate child of Hugh Fraser, grocer and spirit merchant in ..Girvan and Jean/Jane Logie. These names are on Hughs death certificate ..no marriage found for Hugh and Jean.
Hugh marries Jean primrose in 1834 and they have a son Hugh born about 1835 Girvan.
I cannot either sons births in Scotlandspeople.
I have found two different Hughs in various censuses over the years
1) a Cotton weaver who married Margaret Snedden
2) bank clerk who lived in Girvan and Glasgow and was executor of his fathers will ( Hugh ..grocers merchant)

can anyone confirm this information or have I got it all wrong
many thanks for helping
Liz

Yes...many thanks for all your help Monica..I have found out that Elizabeth remarried to a James Forsyth 1889 and she died 1899 (cause peritonitis). Looking for Joseph Baird on the 1891 census. He was married by 1901 and died in 1910.

Thanks again
Liz

Found Andrew death on Scotland people. He died aged only 41 in 1887 with Chronic Bronchitis. Death certificate states he was a Blacksmith and his wife was Elizabeth Hill. I have also found a Robert Bairds death  in 1910, father was Andrew and mother was Elizabeth Hall ( could be Hill). this certificate stated Roberts father was a Chain Maker which could fit in with the 1871 census you found Monica.

Hi Monica

The address they both gave on marriage was 100 High street Glasgow
Witnesses were what looks like Leslie Bury and either Wm Nelson or it could be Mrs Nelson

Andrew was a blacksmith which matches the 1861 census that you found ..interesting !!
