William Fraser 1782-1849 Invernesshire

Wow!  You guys are good!  Thanks.  I will try to figure all that out (8am here).  I appreciate your help!  This is all funny because I was adopted and didnt know anything about my fathers line (this line) until a few days ago....and I just got back from Scotland three weeks ago!!!  I wish I had known then, I could have poked around...and spent more time in Inverness, which I loved.  Im hoping to be able to trace this line back past Culloden as I felt some kind of strange pull to that place.  So thanks for the help!

Brevitas, I have a marriage date of 6 Feb 1834 in Inverness.  I am confused by the 1841 census you posted.  So it looks like Duncan lived with grandma and grandpa for a while?  (This is complicated). 

Now onto processing the McGlashen part. lol

They were living close together in Glenbeg so maybe young Duncan was with his grandparents while Mary looked after the new baby or something. It wasn't all that strange to find one or more grandchildren with the grandparents.

I've been looking at McGlashans - quite a lot around Dalcross and Ardersier (now close to where Inverness airport is) which are not far from Culloden and D & D.

Can you all share with me where you are getting all this census info?  I can see some of it on familysearch but it doesnt show you all the other ppl in the household (or I dont know how to look at the actual document).  This is very confusing.  I am not actually sure of the names of all those children.  I do know that mary, james and catherine are correct because they were mentioned in James' obituary. 

Thanks for all your help!

I am also chasing this line and struggling over the McGlashan/Fraser issue.
I am the great great granddaughter of Donald Fraser (1826-1901) through my mother. Donald was the brother of Mary McBean, born Fraser (1814-1888). There were ten children of William Fraser (1782-1850) and Margaret McIntosh (1782-1857)
I did see a record of a William McGlashan marrying Margaret Fraser (born McIntosh), will look for it again as I can't remember the date. could they have remarried under her married surname and his alias??? I have a solid gold wedding band from my late mothers jewelry that she never knew where it came from, perhaps a new ring for the second wedding. It is a double band merging underneath to a single band. Just tossing around some crazy thoughts lol.
