This is still amazing to me, all I had when I started this journey last week was Alice's name and date of birth, now I have a family out there somewhere and a mystery to solve.  Wish my dad was alive to tell him all this as he knew nothing either.  I cannot thank you all enough.

There is a pretty detailed service record for a Frederick Fraser b 1849 Inverness - regiment North Staffordshire. Have not read it all but the following may be of interest - on attestation 15 July 1867(age 18 ) calling said to be a baker. He married Margaret McInerney in Limerick 9th July 1872. ... his record is not without blemish!

Ok, November 1873, in Limerick District, an un-named male child born to a Frederick and Margaret Fraser, with Frederick's address as New Barrack and occupation as Private in 64th. Hard to make out Margaret's surname, but certainly does look something similar to McInerney. Her address seems to be Mary Street.

Not seeing a marriage at moment.

I think North Staffordshire Regiment was 64th Foot.

An 1873 birth fits well with Charles' age at marriage.

Army record seems to have Frederick in Porstmouth in 1876. If son was Charles, perhaps Charles thought he was born there, as he perhaps lived there when young.

Army record available to view with a FindMyPast subscription or credits.

Neither birth record nor army record, from what I have read of it so far, mention a middle name for Frederick.

Birth certificate for un-named male Fraser can be viewed for free at www.irishgenealogy.ie via the Civil Index tab.

Noting that the service record for Frederick Fraser states he was RC there is a Catholic Baptism on SP for a Charles Fraser- parents Frederick Fraser and Margaret McEnerney in Dundee St Andrew's 13 Sept 1902. Birth date given as 3 Nov 1873.

The new Scottish Catholic Records on FindMyPast may also be worth a look - there his birthplace is given as Limerick.

Just checked the Limerick certificate again for un-named Fraser, and it matches for 3rd.
