I am hoping that someone may be able to either help me or point me in the right direction in sorting out the parentage of my 3 x Great Grandfather, Alexander FRAZER (sometimes spelt FRAZER).

Currently this is the information I have collected from various birth, death and marriage and other records:
Name: Alexander Fraser,
Birth date: most likely around 1795-1800
Death (or burial) date: 14 Jan 1830, Aberdeen.
Burial Register text: “Alexander Fraser, Nurseryman, Ferryhills”
Spouse: Agnes KIETH (sometimes spelt KEITH) [born 1799, died 1848]
Marriage: 2 Mar 1828, Old Machar, Aberdeenshire.
Bann register text: “Alexander Fraser, Nursery-man, Ferryhill and Agnes Keith Daughter of John Keith Manager Poynernook both in this parish, signified their purpose of marriage by Mr Wm Taylor, Elder and being thrice proclaimed”
Children:
1. Margret (or Margaret) FRAZER, christened Old Machar, 9 Jan 1829 [My 2 x Great Grandmother]; and
2. Alexander Keith FRAZER, christened Old Machar, 12 Jun 1830.

I am now at an impasse as it is difficult to narrow down who his parents may be. I was hoping the Ferryhill reference might provide a clue but it does not seem to appear in other records I’ve been able to find.

I have searched the internet high and low, including sites such as Ancestry.com, findmypast, rootsweb, google...... you name it – I’ve looked. I have obtained digital copies of the above original records.

Over the course of this research this particular Alexander Fraser has been linked with no less than 6 different sets of parents. I was hoping someone may have something that could help solve the mystery, or perhaps suggest further contacts for me.
