How can I find out more about my paternal ggg grandparents from Keith?

[Forfarian]

Ann  Fraser, other surname Sellar, died in Keith in 1869 aged 80. To find out if she was your one go to www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, invest in a few credits and use six of them to view her death certificate and potentially learn who her parents were.

On the same site look at the index to the church records for baptisms of children to William Fraser and Ann Sellar. Do not trust anything you find on MyHeritage - check the original documents at Scotland's People.

Look for them in the census - use https://freecen1.freecen.org.uk/ and when you have found the transcriptions there, check the originals at Scotland's People. I note with interest that William Fraser and wife Ann Fraser are in the census in 1851 and 1861. If the Ann Sellar or Fraser who died in 1869 is yours, it means that there should also be a death certificate for William Fraser which should tell you the names of his parents.

Thanks solidrock, trish1120 & Forfarian for giving me something to be going on with. Certainly will check through ScotlandsPeople, to which I've long subscribed, Forfarian.

Still wondering about William Fraser's occupation as flour miller & finding out where he worked. Are there any extant lists/directories that might carry his name? Would he have appeared as Ag Labourer on the 1841 census, solidrock? It seems unlikely to me and his son's death cert did cite his job as a miller.

Again, many thanks.

Cheers,

After being on ScotlandsPeople & tracking the Keith Frasers through the 1841, 51 & 61 censuses I conclude William wasn't specifically a flour miller but rather an ag labourer & carter - maybe associated with a local mill. William came from out of county from Inverness-shire. Can't read where so I'm going to take a snippet, put it in the handwriting section.

Ann's death was in 1869, Forfarian. Her dad was William Sellar, her mum's maiden name not known / recorded.

Cheers,

Thanks Wendy2305, after checking on ScotlandsPeople am pretty sure you're right. Thanks to you, too, weeaza, can see at least 3 of my lot in your list of Keith Fraser burials - probably others whose connection I haven't yet discovered.

Cheers,
