I am seeking information on a McRae family of Greenock -
William McRae married Janet McKay and a son Charles was born in 1874 in Greenock he migrated to Australia (date unknown) and married my GGG Aunt Alecia McFadzean at Ballarat, Victoria in 1902. I have not found his death.
My facts come from the marriage certificate.
Any help is appreciated.
Helen.

Researching:
Lucas, Kent; Johnson, Colchester Essex; Modin, Middlesex; McFadzean Ayrshire SCT.

The marriage record to Janet should be on Scotlands People website and name his father

Edit not seeing that marriage or birth entry.

Not picking them up on any census either

Researching:
Surname Fahse. Germany. Essex .South East London My avatar is one of our wedding photos of 1957

No record on SP for a marriage between William Mcrae and Janet Mckay

Nor is there a record of a birth for Charles to match your info.

Using a search range of 1873-1875 and fuzzy matching, these are the only births
