Grace Fraser was the daughter of Alexander and Elizabeth M. Fraser. Alexander and Elizabeth also had a daughter by the name of Elizabeth M. Fraser from whom I descend.

Both Alexander and Elizabeth Fraser were born in Nova Scotia and moved to the Matapedia (Moores Settlement) to be exact after the Great Fire on the Miramichi. Miramichi is in New Brunswick. Each year I make the pilgrimage to visit their graves in Matapedia where their daughter Elizabeth (my ancestor 1861-1931) is also buried along with their son John J. Fraser (Elizabeth's brother - 1842-1914)

In the 1861 census Grace was aged 7 and in the 1871 census her age is marked as 17 and that she was born in Lower Canada whereas the 1871 census states that she was born in Quebec. The first 3 of Alexander and Elizabeth Fraser's children (Marjarett, John, and Eliza) were born in Nova Scotia. I hope this helps. I have no notes on whom she married or when and where she died.

Elizabeth and Alexander Fraser had 10 children. They may have had more but I only found 10 in my research. In the 1931 obit of Elizabeth (a Alexander and Elizabeth) it states that she is survived by two sisters: Mrs. George Spooner of Winnipeg, Manitoba and Mrs. Robert Caldwell of Cardstone, Manitoba.

I hope this helps you in your quest

Thank you for your response.
I am descended from John J Fraser, Grace's brother. I do have most of the information you provided except I do not have the name Mrs Robert Caldwell. Do you know which sister she was? Could it have been Margaret, Eliza or Lydia? Or was it Mary who I thought married Robert Calder, not Caldwell.
In my posting I was trying to elicit communication and information about any of the Fraser descendants and about all our and their antecendants, most particularly of the origins of Alexander Fraser's grandfather William Fraser. I do have more information on various branches and generations of the Fraser family, but I have nothing on Elizabeth other than she married William MacCallum. I would like to learn more specifically about your branch of the family.
Please contact me direct if you would like to explore this further.
