Confusing

[edit]

Was it Graham who "is said to have gone naked to get the confidence of the Aborigines", or Fraser?Royalcourtier (talk) 05:03, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

She was kidnapped

[edit]

The introduction implies that her claim "to be captured by Aboriginal people" was contrary to her in fact having been "ship wrecked on the island and taken in by the Badtjala(Butchella) people". These are no contradictory. She was shipwrecked (one word!) and held capture by the Aboriginal people.Royalcourtier (talk) 21:19, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Scottish?

[edit]

There is at least a publish discussion where Eliza Frazer actually came from including claims that she was from Derbyshire. Not that there is any hard evidence. It seems undisputed that she was married to a Stromness skipper and she left her children behind when she went sailing around the world to be fostered by the local minister. It might be useful to find any more information about her husband. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.168.194.195 (talk) 12:06, 26 October 2020 (UTC) More info here https://www.derbyshirelife.co.uk/people/eliza-fraser-1-6363242 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.168.194.195 (talk) 12:08, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
