Dear Goldie,
Yes it was me that posted those messages about 3-maybe 4 years ago...I appreciate your concern regarding people going over old messages... I also want to apologise for taking up so much space with my request, but this has been going on for almost 20 years between my late Cousin and I, just trying to find out who Hugh Fraser's (akas Frazer-Frazier) parents were and where Hugh was born... Is he a Scot or is he Irish....
What has made it extremely difficult all of these years was Hugh's son Alexander Frazer who married Sarah Berry in Manchester... Whilst researching Alexander and checking all the UK Census it was always stated on the Census that Alexander was born in Salford Manchester, that was until 1851. where it say's he was born in Slymansdale Gloucestshire.... well that threw a spanner in the works... after much research we find that Slymansdale is in fact was a house on the road to Baldwin's Gate area. according to the 1889 Ordanance Survey from the Staffordshire records office) on a road now called Camp Hill.. In The Parish of Maer. Staffordshire... On further research and investigation I have validated that Hugh ( Frazier) married Mary Ferguson (recorded as Furgason) on the 26 May 1831 in Wednesbury after Banns... Mary was the daughter of Phoebe Ferguson and her father is unknown...
Further investigation on Hugh's death from my research shows that he could have worked on the Rail...as I have a copy of the Coroner's Report dated October 1837 that he was died as a result of being run over by a cartwheel....
Mary & Hugh had the following children.
Alexander. Baptised 20 May 1832 High Offley. Staff
Anne " 13 Feb 1834 "
William " May 1836 Maer. Staff
and Elizabeth 26 Nov 1837.
Poor Mary not only lost her husband in October 1837, but was 8 months Pregnant with Elizabeth when Hugh died... I have copies from the parish Register validating their Baptism...According to Find My Past Burial Transcription.... Hugh Fraser ( name change again to what it is today) was aged 37 years at the time of his death. he is buried in St Peter's Maer Anglican Church on 16 October 1837.
Again I apologise for taking up so much time and patience of this group, but as you can see I have in the past 3-4 years made a few little steps from the previous posts and it has taken me all of this time to get to where I am at present....If I could find out about Hugh's parents, who they were, where was he born? and is he a Scot or Irish do to the name changing all the time....
Thank you so much
Sincerely,
Faysie
