Hi there, Harper 7

I am researching this family but on the Fraser side. This is my mother's line. She comes down from Mary Fraser's (McBean) brother Donald Fraser, my great great grandfather. I am currently trying to work out where and how the McGlashan name comes in but it is proving very challenging.

My tree goes            My great grandfather was Duncan Fraser m Anne McEachern
                                   2x Great grandfather was Donald Fraser m Catherine McDonald
                                   3x Great grandfather was William Fraser/McGlashan m Margaret                 
                                     McIntosh
                                   4x Great grandfather was William Fraser/McGlashan m Rebecca McGillevray

   I live in Sydney so its hard to trace the paper trail. Think I need a trip to Scotland to spend some time going through the real paper records!!!

Lestree....we have talked on ancestry.  I am not convinced of MacGlashan link.  I think it might be a totally different person but cant figure it out either. 

Good point.   On the marriage cert it says she is a spinster...so I guess that is the answer.   

I need coffee.

Hi Everyone and thanks for your help

I have come across a death certificate for my great gpas second wife and Im wondering if it shows she was married previously and if so if anyone can read the name. It looks like ? clark to me but im not sure.  If it helps she was originally from Ireland.  Im looking at the last entry on the page for Elizabeth Cowie.  It says married to William Cowie and then it says something under that.  I also havent been able to figure out where she is actually buried if anyone might give me somewhere to start with that.  I know her sister is at the Western Necropolis but pretty sure she isnt there.

Thanks!

Hello good people.  I THINK I may have finally made some progress on my Irish side.  I found this marriage info for my great great gpa John Doyle (from Baltinglass) and Julia Griffen.  It lists Johns parents as Patrick Doyle and Elizabeth.  I then think I can link that via dna to Patrick Doyle and Elizabeth Ovington who had at least three kids in Baltinglass:  Patrick in 1831, Andrew (Andrea?) 1834 and Richard 1837.  The witnesses for these births were robert and mary ovington, Anthony ovington and john byrne.   I cant however find any birth info for my John or Joannis Doyle, nor do I know a year of birth other than his fist child I know of was born 1862.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!
