Fraser's From Dores

[Marg59]

Hi, I'm having trouble finding any info on Alexander and Janet (maiden name Fraser). Their children are Hugh b 1852, Janet b 1854, Alexander my g grandfather 1856-1943, Marjory (Marsley) 1860, Mary 1862, Flora b 1865.

Any help greatly appreciated

Do you know when and where they died, and have information on their parents from the death certificates?

Added:
both born about 1821 from 1861 census?
Had either been married before?

Which censuses have you found them in, with parents, surely?

Have you also used scotlandspeople?

This is from an online tree, does it fit with what you know as there are 2 or 3 similar men around?

Alexander Fraser
Spouse     Janet Fraser
Father   Hugh Fraser
Mother   Janet Fraser
Birth   06/04/1825 Dores Inverness-shire Scotland
Death  22/05/1885 Dores Inverness-shire Scotland

ScotlandsPeople has Alexander Fraser and Janet Fraser marrying on 8th June 1851 in Kilmonivaig.

Looking at the children's names, this could well be Janet's baptism:

Name    Janet Fraser
Gender    Female
Christening Date    05 May 1818
Christening Place    INVERNESS,INVERNESS,SCOTLAND
Father's Name    Alexander Fraser
Mother's Name    Marjory Fraser

Chempat, Yes i use scotsland people, and have that as Alexanders info. What I cant find is any info on their children other than Alexander

[chempat]

You have put:

'What I cant find is any info on their children other than Alexander'

Do you mean that you cannot find them in any census, other than with their parents, and that you are unable to find any possible marriages or deaths for them?

Hi which census do you have the family in as I believe I have Alexander Janet Alexander and Mary at Moor Of Errogie Dores and Flora at Boleskine & Abertarff, Inverness as a dairymaid

Tree on Ancestry has these for Marjory's death:

FRASER   MAY  age 65  in 1925  121/ 10  Auldearn

JAMES     MAY        65      1925  121/ 16  Auldearn

[Marg59]

The last Census I have for the family is 1871. The census has both Alexander and Janet as same age  but have been told they often rounded their age.

I have Alexander b 6/3/1825 d 22/5/1855
           Janet  b 12/10/1819 d 13/9/1892 according to her death cert. her parents were Simon and Mary.

I didn't know Marjory could be shortened to May, so will look into that.

Thankyou all for your help
