Title: John Fraser (Frazer) and Mary Reoch (Rioch, Riach) - Kirriemuir
Post by: N.Z girl on Saturday 10 May 08 08:19 BST (UK)

Hi,

I'm trying to verify the birth and marriage details of the parents of John Frazer (Fraser) born 1800 in Ballinshae, Kirriemuir.   
They were John  Frazer (Fraser) b 1765? and Mary Reoch (Rioch, Riach, Reach) born in 1769? Have found details listed on Family Search, but nothing else through other searches  so far.  I've confirmed that their children were born in Kirriemuir.

Any information or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi

Scotland's People only has one John Fra*er , bpt. in Kirriemuir, 1799-1802. This was on 26 May 1800. The parents are as you have - John Frazer and Mary Rioch. I can't find a marriage for them but it could be a common law one that was not performed by a Church of Scotland Minister and would thus not be in the records.

There are a number of John Fra*ers bpt. in Angus 1750-1785 but none in Kirriemuir no Marys though - nearest are Ritchie but again none in Kirriemuir.

Have you followed John, jnr, through the censuses?
