Hello RICK and BESSIE: Questions: 1. Did your JOHN C. FRASER, son of CHARLES FRASER and CHRISTENA CAMERON, have a sister, CHRISTENA F. FRASER (1864-1938) married to JOHN DAVID MCNAUGHTON (1858-1938)? 2. Did CHARLES FRASER and CHRISTENA CAMERON have other children? 3. Do you have any vitals dates/places for CHARLES FRASER and CHRISTENA CAMERON? Thanks, BILL DORGAN > > Hello, > > Any chance someone might have any knowledge or record of an obituary for John C. Fraser of Westville? He was a son of Charles Fraser and Christena Cameron, born in 1844 at Island East River but lived most of his life in Westville.

I will see if the Chronicle Herald microfilm at the Toronto Ref library might contain an obit for Margaret Muir. If I remember right, they didn't put much info in that paper from Pictou area during that time. It seemed to be all Halifax and Sydney. I will look at my transcriptions for Foxbrook as well as I will no doubt have that and probably a pic as well. ( I recorded all Frasers gravestones whether related or not.) This weekend is probably not doable to get to the library. I have to travel north to Sudbury for my mothers 83rd birthday... Monday, I scoot back home to buy a new car....hopefully next weekend I can get in to the library.... I will let you know what I find. > > Thanks! > Rick

Hello Bill and Rick, I have a Charles Fraser married to a Christena. I have one son, Robert C. Fraser, b. abt. 1845, married to Margaret Fraser on Apr. 5 1906. Is this the same family as John C. Fraser?

Hi Bill, The answers are: 1) Yes, although I didn't know Christena, the daughter had middle initial "F".. Do you know what that stands for? 2) Yes, a whole bunch of children. Annie, John, Mary, Margaret, William, Alexander, Jessie, Charles, Simon, James, Christena, and Catherine. 3) Charles Fraser, h/o Christena, b. Jan. 1815 at Island East River, d. 02 July, 1893 at Westville. Christena, b. 24 Oct. 1821 but don't know where, died in 1904, according the gravestone. The PCGHS index had a card stating that her obit was in their records, but the record cannot be found..... Are you related to this family?
