Hi, yes Alexander WEBSTER Snr did indeed paint portraits.  According to my father (his grandson) he was in great demand to paint portraits of the local skippers.  I myself have a small portrait he did of my aunt who was his grand daughter.

Yes, he was a house painter/decorator, but also quite a well known artist both in NE Scotland and America, as it seems were some of the sons, which makes me wonder if some of the family emigrated to America.  :)

Hello everyone,  This is my first attempt on this site, it would be wonderful if someone could help me with some info.  I am researching my great grandfather Alexander Webster from Fraserburgh c1841-1913.  One of his daughters Elizabeth (1870-1949) was my grandmother, but I would love to find out a little of his other children - Alexander, William, John, Elsie, Frederick, Peter and Gordon all born in Fraserburgh. He was an artist as it seems were all of his family.
