megg,
There was no Frater family in Wooler area on Census 1841.
The Frater family found by Christina on C1841 were living in East Jarrow ( Census ref 298/1 13-20) within County Durham.
All, with the exception of John junior, were " not born in this(Co Durham) county"
Going by info from censuses, the family left the county of Northumberland sometime between 1834 and 1839 ( and never went back)

John's wife has been transcribed by modern transcribers as
"Phellis", but the C1841 enumerator clearly entered "Phillis" !
(complete with two dots above the two letters "i")
