Jane married Hugh FRASER elder, 1st of Lovat, son of Alexander FRASER and Daughter MORAY, about 1365.1 (Hugh FRASER elder, 1st of Lovat was born about 1332 and died by 30 March 1410 3.)


  Marriage Notes:

"Hugh, 4 Lord Fraser of Lovat, who entered young to his interest, I find him served and retoured to his father anno 1349 at Edinburgh, being at court with King David 2. At his return he married Jane Calder, daughter to Laurence (see Note below) Calder, Thane thereof. With her he had 4 sones and 3 daughters, his eldest sone Alexander, 2 Hugh, 3 James, 4 William ; all well educat with the monks in Beauly."

from Chronicles of the Frasers

Note:

No 'Thane of Cawdor (Calder) of this name has been found. By date, if Hugh Fraser's wife was indeed a daughter of such a thane, the man in question is likely to have been William, for in 1310 Robert de Brus granted a charter of land to William, Thane of Calder for a yearly payment of '12 merks'.[1](Wikipedia)
