Possibly the same Charles Fraser of Mid Street, Lochee, was still alive in March 1904, when a chimney can fell from a height of four storeys. The article says he suffered severe injuries, with a badly cut head and nose, but that he received treatment at the local police station and was able to return home.

Williamina remarried in 1908 so Charles was deceased by then assuming she was not telling porkies

Hello!
I have just done a Google search for an Ancestor, on the off-chance I would find something, and came across your posts!
I have only just joined RootsChat, so no idea what I am doing here or how to navigate, so please excuse if I appear to be writing in the wrong place!

I am DESCENDED from FREDERICK AUGUSTUS FRASER and CATHERINE FALCONER!
Please get in touch!
