Hi, My name was Frail and my father was John Frail of Dunfermline, but he was known as Jim.  His brothers and sisters were James (who you could be looking for), Hannah, Jean, Emma, Agnes, Jemima, John (my dad), Edward and Samuel.  Their parents were Hugh Frail and Jane (aka Georgina or Jean) Chisolm-Fox.

I am also researching my family tree in particular the Fox name which has taken me to my Irish ancestry.  I have also found cousins.   Would love to hear from you as sure we must be related. Lydia

Hi, I’m a Frail living in Dunfermline, I have not been at this too long, I’ve got Back to my great grandfather who I know married Sarah Moyes in 1911, had two kids I’m sure about, John Frail and Jame who again I know emigrated to Australia. John Frail I believe died on 09/05/1915 as I have an article from Dunfermline press speaking about his wife Sarah and two young children. (John and James) I think. He seems to have been 29 when he died in battle, and likely to have been born Burntisland aprox 1886 or so.

I finished the Cowdenbeath and Kelty War Memorial a couple of years ago, information on the soldiers can be found at my web sites.
