Angus Fraser gave evidence to the Napier Commission at Locheport on 30 May 1883. We find him on the 1881 census as a crofter of 20 acres at Balemore. Aged 47, he is married to Cathrine (38) and has ten children, varying in ages from 6 months to 15 years. The same family also appears on the 1871 census, minus those offspring that were aged 9 or less in 1881.
Angus Fraser died on 19 June 1897 at the age of 64 of cancer and renal problems. He was the son of Archibald and Mary (nee Macaulay). Angus had been married twice, first to Catherine Macdiarmid and latterly to Catherine Macaulay.
