Death Certificate - Hugh Fraser

[Rosinish]

Can you post exactly what it says on Jessie's DC please?

I assume she was a widow but who was the informant?

A DC should give details of any previous husbands if known to the informant.

Annie

Sure can. Here they are:

Name and Surname
Rank or Profession, and whether Single, Married, or Widowed: Jessie Fraser, Widow of Hugh Fraser, Coachbuilder

When and Where Died: 1961 August First, 1a Leachkin Road, Inverness, Us. Des. Victoria Lodge, Dingwall

Age: 74 years

Name, Surname, and Rank or Profession of Father
Name and Maiden Surname of Mother: Isabella Fraser (deceased)

Signature and Qualification of Informant, and Residence, if out of the House in which the Death occured: D Fraser, Son, Bank of Scotland House, Nairn

[Rosinish]

Thanks, as the son was the informant it's safe to assume she didn't remarry.

Did Hugh register daughter Margaret's birth in 1911?

Annie

[Corrine Lawrence]

No, Jessie did.

[Rosinish]

Did he register son D & any other births?

Do you have any other marriages of children prior to 1932 & was he alive then?

Annie

[Corrine Lawrence]

Not sure yet, Annie. I think that's my next port of call - to see whether Margaret's brother Donald can offer up any more info.

I've found Donald Fraser's (the son/Margaret's brother) birth certificate - 1909 May 26.

His parents are the same as Margaret's. Hugh registers Donald's birth.
