Staffordshire / Help needed Please
« on: Wednesday 06 January 16 03:17 GMT (UK) »
Good Morning from Australia….
This is rather long winded but I’m hoping that this contained information will assist in my request for help after researching for 20 years and finding little.
Hugh Fraser (aka Frazer & Frazier) married Mary Ferguson (recorded as Fargason) 26 May 1831 in Wednesbury Staffordshire. Mary was the daughter of Phoebe Ferguson and Mary’s father is unknown…when they married Hugh signed his name and Mary made her Mark….
Hugh Died at a young age of 37 years in October 1837 after a tragic accident of being run over by cartwheel whilst working in Madeley Staffordshire... (info obtained from Coroner’s Inquest). Hugh was buried at St. Peters, Maer. Staffordshire on 16 Oct 1837….which means his birth is Circa 1800.
With all of this information that I have gathered over some 25 years I still do not know who his parents were after gathering Primary records (i.e.) Marriage etc. I do not know if Hugh was Scots or Irish as the name changed over the years with his descendants to “Fraser” as it’s known today.
I would very much appreciate any help or guidance as I do not want to give up and hopefully someone in this group may be able to assist me in my request to find out….Thanking you one an all for your patience.
Sincerely,
Fay Fraser
