Re: [MIGEN] Someone tell me where Great Fraser is
by Stephen Hillier Esperance West Aust
Thanks to all who replied. Thanks for the map "Bill "
Ok so there is no Great Fraser as a town, Below is were I pick this up from
1881 British Census. I dare say that the Census bloke would have taken down
the information incorrectly. But there must be something in reference to
"Great Fraser" anybody have a clue. Apart from what already has been
suggested So was it a port somewhere in the United States or what about a
ship The "Great Fraser" The Head was a Captain maybe thats why the Husband
Thomas JENKIN is not around on the census he also might be a seaman Maybe.?
Great Lakes ??
Do you have national BIRTHS, DEATHS and MARRIAGE index for the United
States.
or can someone do a look up for Mabel JENKIN?
