Going by the IGI, she had siblings John, Robert, James, Francis and George?  Mother's maiden name McGregor?

It's possible both her parents were dead by 1881 and she was with her step-mother - I found this entry which matches some of her siblings' birth dates and names as well.

35 Urquhart St   Forres, Elgin
GROS Vol 137 ED 4 p 8

Jessie FRASER OR FAASER   Head W 52 F b Auldearn, Nairn Private Lodging Keeper
Francis FRASER OR FAASER Son 14   M b Forres, Elgin Scholar
George M. FRASER OR FAASER Son 8  M b Forres, Elgin Scholar
Jessie FRASER OR FAASER   Daughter 12 F b Forres, Elgin Scholar

Jessie/Janet is a common alternate name. This is from the transcription, so if possible check the original.

Otherwise, I can't find anything.

Thank you so much Nell  :)

I am in the dark tracing Scottish relatives but with the help of rootschat I am making some headway.

Lots more research needed I think.


Thanks again Nell.
