I corrected that the Thurlow I was referring to was the grandson not the son, his grandmother was Jane Cowie not rankin.

Thurlow Fraser was not the son but the grandson, his mother easy Margaret Fraser who married a man with the same last name. Thurlow was my grandfather, I also would visit with Christine when I was young, she made the best oat cakes that I have ever eaten and am unable to replicate.

The children listed above were the children of Thurlow Fraser and Jane Cowie. Thurlow was born in Fraser burg 1826,  died 1889,   Jane born 1837  New Deer, died 1917.
Two of their children moved to Canada - both passing away in Vancouver B.C. These were Thurlow and his sister Christine.

Thank you for your quick reply. I should have mentioned that John Woodward emmigrated to Canada and died in ontario. Other Woodwards I have found names of in Drumholm are -
Elizabeth(Betsy) b. 1783 married James Flood - moved to Canada
William Woodward born 1764.
my John born 1776.
Eliza Woodward born 1802 married John Mills.
Mary Woodward born 1812(?) married William Mills - moved to Canada with John Mills(Mary's father)
I would like to see the rest of the list you have to see if I can put everyone together. It will also help in finding where the family originated.
Thank you for your help.

I am researching John Woodward - he enlisted in the 1st regiment of foot in 1800 - serving in Canada (war of 1812) and the british west indies and northern ireland. Discharged as supernumery in 1817. I am looking for information on his ancestry, marriages, children. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The above is for a website of Flooer's 'O' Scotland which has lots of information on the Fraser families. It indicates that George died in Scotland not Norway and lists family before Alexander.

1901 Scotland Census shows the following:
 Robert Fraser 46 shepherd, Perth, perthshire
Maggie Fraser 32 New Pitsligo, Aberdeenshire
John Fraser 10 Aberdeen City Parish, Aberdeenshire
Thurlow Fraser 5 Aboyne & Dinnet, Aberdeenshire
Isabella J. Fraser 1 Coull, Aberdeenshire
 
Thurlow moved to Calgary, Canada in 1920 - listed mother as Margaret Fraser, Humbly(?) Cottage, Aboyne, as next of kin.
He was apparently single when he came but married Elizabeth Anne Shirer  who also came to Canada between this time and end of 1921. First child - Agnes Brown b. Aug.2,1922, second child Donald Thurlow b. 1924, third and last Sheila b. 1926. They moved to Vancouver, B.C. from there, where Elizabeth died in 1953, and Thurlow in 1971.

Given that Thurlow seems to only come down through one family - and yes I had heard that story before - it seems there should be a connection somewhere.  Thurlow's middle name was Gleneagle - not sure that is the right spelling could be Glenegyl.  Also possible relation we refered to as Aunt Christine who lived in Vancouver - I think she was a Fraser, possibly married to a Lorimer. These are memories of a long ago childhood - remember afternoon visits there for tea and oatcakes. Any way hope we can help each other on this.
