I believe whilst in Scotland he was a Sawyer by trade. However, in Dunedin, New Zealand he turned to farming.

Do you know William Fraser's occupation?

I'm trying to find out more about my Great x3 Grandparents John Grant and Janet McIntosh and their families. I believe they were married in November 1823 in Cromdale and Inverallan, Scotland. Their daughter, Ann married William Fraser and they and three of their children travelled to New Zealand in 1860. Their son Alexander died in 1853 at 20 months old.
Thank you. Heather
