Hi! I was the original poster and was away for while. I have just caught up on this and am happily amazed at the interest it's gotten. I loved reading about the family roots and different branches.
I did some research into the line I was specifically targeting and have found what I was looking for.

Family Members
Parents:
William Findlay Fraser

Isabella Mitchell Fraser

Maybe he had more with another wife? Was he married again?

Thankyou!Like putting pieces of a quilt together, every little bit of information helps. A thread can lead to a treasure trove of information and facts. I found this out when I was researching the Smiths.

Aberdeenshire / Re: The name "Thirlow" or Thurlow Fraser
« on: Tuesday 07 January 14 06:40 GMT (UK) » Yes, it is all rather mysterious! I was wondering what did Catherine Thurlow die of in 1825? Seems interesting a Thurlow pops up born in that year.
Especially mysterious when I read of her husband's exploits as a soldier who rarely was home. Gone for many months at a time, sometimes over a year.
Funny, that her name was rarely, if ever mentioned after she died. Husband considered her "his dearest Catharine" in his letters to her before her death; went on to talk about other women in his book soon after her death.
Just speculating....

Thankyou for your reply.
It gets confusing.
I live in BC, Canada and have been to Barkerville a few times and have seen all what has been written on him. Some of it is based on
?
(Same thing has happened to my grandfather's historical homestead for the benefit of tourism. I am amazed sometimes at what can be "contrived" as facts.)
Other sources put Thomas Sterling as his father. All you have to do is Google his name. E.g.
http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/begbie_matthew_baillie_12E.html
http://ukga.org/cgi-bin/genealogy/indiv.pl?16354
What is true?
I am actually looking for information on his mother's family specifically as apparently my English granny was related to him somehow. She was Audrey Myrtle Hitchcock, daughter of George Armstrong Hitchcock who I have been investigating on here.
Thankyou.
