Rose (I think this is your name).  My sister and I are in Australia.  What area are you?  These are our ancestors too.  We have been there and stayed in Docharn, a farm.  Alexander was the tenant farmer and Commissioner of Woods and Forests for the Earl of Seafield.  He was also Adjutant at Fort George, north of Inverness.  His grave is in Duthil Cemetery as you say and his wife was Mary Grant.  From your notes you are descended from Alexander Fraser, son of Patrick and Elspet.  They are buried in Doune Cemetery Macduff.  Our great grandmother was Rachel Fraser, she and her brother came to Melbourne in the Minerva from Banff in 1853.  I don't know how we get in touch.  Will await your reply.
