Hello.
Many thanks for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate your efforts.
I was new (the day I posted) to RootsChat, and I am sorry if I am not negotiating this correctly.
I did omit some information for you, and I can only apologise for that! Please forgive me!
Thank you to CHEMPAT, AMBLY and GLENCLARE for your replies, I reply to you all now -
Chempat - yes, I did know that Flora re-married, to Robert Montgomery, so sorry! I have their marriage as 1896, not 1894. So yes, FAF Jnr deceased by then, I presume, if the information on the marriage cert of Flora and Robert is correct (that Flora is a widow).
He is definitely not the Staffordshire/Cannock man. No links to there at all. So no wife Fanny.
I have Flora Cross' birth and death certificates, and Fred and Flora's marriage cert and Flora and Robert's marriage cert too.
I don't have Frederick in 1891...yet.
Ambly - I have found William Cross Fraser in 1901 with his Cross grandparents at Upper Kessock Street, Inverness, thank you!
Have been doing some more digging, and I think I have been looking at the wrong Simon/Symon Fraser (who married Mary Usher), so have deleted the limited information I had on ancestry.com and am starting over!
All I know is that Symon/Simon Fraser was a Chelsea Pensioner drummer
He married Mary Usher, born C1775 in Ireland - I have no birth cert for her and no marriage cert for her and Simon.
Our local Archives (Inverness) did a basic tree for another family member, which they gave me, and on it it only has limited information. I am trying to add flesh to the bones, so to speak.
On this basic tree, it states that Mary Usher died 12/4/1869 Craigdhu, Kilmorack, Inverness - but I need to verify this still.
Frederick Augustus Fraser Senior Born C 1822 - 1825 (per 1851 and 1861 census records), born in Campbelton/Ardersier, Inverness-Shire.
He died 3/7/1866, Dundee, aged 44.
He married Catherine Falconer Aug 1841 in Abbotshall (Banns dated 15th, 22nd, 29th Aug)
She was born 13/3/1821 (need to check location) and died 18/7/1866, Dundee.
They had
Frederick Augustus Fraser Junior
Born C1850 - according to the 1851 census he was 7 months old)
We are presuming he died prior to 1896 (when his wife Flora Cross re-married (Robert Montgomory)
Frederick and Flora Cross were married 13/8/1886 Inverness.
Flora Cross born 3/10/1865, Inverness and died 5/8/1929, Govan.
Frederick and Flora had William Cross Fraser
Born 29/6/1887 Inverness and died 4/4/1961 Invergordon
This William married Margaret Patience on 11/6/1909, Inverness.
Margaret born 30/10/1881, Avoch and died 11/1/1963, Invergordon.
William and Margaret had William Cross Fraser
Born 6/12/1909, Inverness and died 25/9/1975, Invergordon.
He married Annie Ross on 2/9/1939, Avoch.
Annie born 6/10/1916, Avoch and died 20/3/1981, Inverness - Annie and William were my grandparents.
I won't go on further to more recent stuff - unless anyone wishes me to!
So sorry for the basic errors guys.
Really appreciate your help!
Many thanks again,
MissJulie
