Yes I've found most of them from here. The one i cant find is the one who was shot. Thats what I'm wanting info on. Ancestry.co.uk hasnt been great and a lot of the tree where the hints have come from others, they've been inaccurate so I intend to tidy it up when i start with the search on scotland people. Think my fat thumbs typed in 1920 instead of 1910 for Margaret though!

Was Margaret's married surname CRAIG?

Brilliant thank you. I'll amend. I need to look more on scotland people. Its much better than ancestry for scotland.

Ancestry trees can be useful or downright misleading can't they  ;)

As you are doing, you need to double check things yourself. For this, Scotlands People is the only source with original documents that will let you verify things.

I think from searches you have done, there wasn't a son called Robin. SP are beginning to add mother's maiden name to all death search index results. They are working on this but will take time. They have done a lot of work on the period in the early 1900s. Not seeing any deaths with mother's maiden name of Woffington until post 1975.

I did check newspapers for Fraser/Accident/Shooting in that period of 1910-1950 in the Inverness papers but nothing showed.

Thank you so much. I'm using ancestry to track the welsh side and its been much better for this. I'll carry on the Frasers on SP. Thank you for your help
