Did the Crickhollow Hobbits know Fredegar? I can't remember where he lived.

Anyhow, surely it could have been just as dangerous if, say, the Crickhollow Hobbits had come up to Fredegar whilst he was in the garden, and discovered that it wasn't, in fact, Frodo Baggins. This would probably elicit murmurings throughout the village and possibly beyond that more strange Baggins-related happenings were taking place.

To get straight back onto the original question, it was already widely known that Baggins was coming to live in the house. The local Hobbits knew this already and could have told the Black Riders this without having to be reassured by the presence of some nice clothes from time to time.
