Family of Peter Fraser, Master Mariner 1949-1891

Surnames: Fraser, Sinclair
I'm looking for information on the family of Peter Fraser, born Shetland 1849 and who sailed as a Master Mariner from Glasgow from around 1863 to 1891. Peter married his cousin Janet (Jessie) McIver Sinclair in Glasgow in April 1880. They had three children; Annie Fraser born Glasgow 1884, Maggie Fraser born Kames 1887 and Peter Fraser born Glasgow 1890. Peter Fraser died in Glasgow 1891 and his son Peter died a few months later. The two girls Annie and Maggie were admitted to the Kilmacolm Sailor's Orphan Society Home in November 1894. Annie left the home and entered service in March 1902 and Maggie did likewise in June 1904. Nothing further is know of the girls. Peter's wife Jessie Fraser was recorded in the 1901 Census living with her sister in Glasgow. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who may have further information on this family and the fate of the two girls. Neil Fraser, Shoal Bay NSW.
