FRASER Alexander and Donald
« on: Wednesday 09 June 04 06:33 BST (UK) »
I dont have much at this point,

Alexander and Donald FRASER both born Inverness in 1864. Unsure if twins or close in age so census shows same age. (if that makes sense).

Left to work in England maybe about 1890, Donald may have been earlier and Alexander maybe a little later. Both were Police officers, Alexander going to work for Scotland Yard London.Donald was working in 1891 in Liverpool.

Alexander married a Katherine MCCULLOCH also from Scotland (maybe Inverness) but married her in Marylebone London so unsure if they met in London or Scotland.

Thank you...ele.

Just a note - there seems to be many occurances of twins in the Fraser family.  My partner has Frasers from Boleskine, and in fact his gr gr grandfather Alexander was a twin in 1835.

Do you have any Rev Hugh Fraser's in your line - there are supposed to be three (alexnader's twin borther, his father, and a cousin)

Hi Tom,

No Rev. Hugh at this point.

My Gran is going to order a marriage certificate for Alexander b.c1864 and  wife Catherine McCulloch, so hopefully then I can move along with my Frasers  on scotlandpeoples.

I will let you know.

My K (C)atherine McCulloch was born 22nd Jan 1864, Dores Inverness to a Donald McCulloch and a Mary McIntosh, if of any interest to you or anyone else reading.

My Donald Fraser b.c1864 also married a Margaret. Dont think they had any children. 1901, they were still living in Liverpool.

Have a nice day/night, Ele.

Hi
I have a Fraser family with both  Alexander and Donald as family names but an earlier generation.  I have Rebecca born abt 1824 at Stratherrick parents Donald and Isabel. However this may be Elizabeth.  Rebecca's first son Hugh Cameron chr Inverness in 1845 had godparents Hugh Fraser and Donald Fraser and younger sons were William, Donald, James and Alexander.  Would be interested to hear from you if you come across anything on this family.
Thanks
