  Marriage Notes:

"All that is known of Udard Fraser is gathered from the occurrence of his name in the charters of some of his descendants, from which it appears that he lived during the latter half of the twelfth century, and that he married a sister of Oliver, son of the Kylvert just mentioned, who is said to have been the founder of Oliver Castle, in Tweeddale, and in all probability was so, and whom Adam Fraser, Udard Fraser's son, will be found to call avunculus, which, though sometimes used for uncle on either side, means maternal uncle, unless the context affords evidence to the contrary ; patruus being the proper term to express that relationship on the father's side."

from Frasers of Philorth




"There was a Udard Fraser mentioned in the charters of some of his descendants, who lived in the latter half of the twelfth century, and married a sister of Oliver, son of Kylvert above mentioned, who is said to have been the founder of Oliver Castle in Peeblesshire. He was the father of Adam Fraser"
