Family made trip from Blackburn to Toronto
CANADIAN Paul Caplin was adopted at birth in 1954. Four years ago,
he discovered that his grandparents, Sol Abramson (Abrahamson) and
Sarah (Fraser) Abramson emigrated to Canada from Blackburn, Lancashire.
Paul's great-grandparents were Barnett and Jane Kirsh Fraser (Frazier/Frazer),
who settled in Blackburn.
Their children were Morris, Maria, Joseph, Annie, Esther (Etty),
Toby, Israel, Nathan, Yetta, Sarah and Bessie, born between 1876
and 1896.
Sarah moved to Canada in 1927 with husband, Solomon Abramson,
and daughters, Bessie and Jean. They settled in Toronto with Sarah's
older sister, Toby and her husband, Harris (Harry) Bliss.
Paul's mother Jean married Sam Goldman, and had four children.
The majority of the Frasers still live in the Manchester area.
