Apologies in advance for the rambling nature of this post.
My Grandmother's maiden name was Martha Graham. She lived in Raphoe, Donegal about 1900 -1905.
Her first marriage appears to have been arranged by her uncle Con O'Donnell - she married a Patrick Kildea. He returned to the shipyards in Clydebank - the story goes that the marriage was never consummated and he died 5/7/1905 (work accident). At that time Martha was still living at Meeting House Street, Raphoe.
By 1910 she was living in Renfrew, Scotland with her mother Annie (nee O'Donnell) and her sister Jean. She met my Grandfather William Millsopp (Married 1910) and I think I know the rest from there.
My problem is before her marriage to Patrick Kildea.
Martha's father's name was Robert Graham. When she married my grandfather, Robert was listed as Army Pensioner - deceased.
I was in Raphoe and at Letterkenny Library briefly during the summer trying to revive my search but to no avail. The public Record office in Kew, London has discharge papers for a Robert Graham - Royal Artillery
Joined up - 3/3/1858 (underage)......discharged to Raphoe 22/3/1880 - age 39 years and 2 months.
If this is my Gr-Grandfather I have to presume that he met Annie O'Donnell after his discharge, married and started a family.
Approximate dates I have are Martha Graham born 1887 - Jean Graham born 1890 - Robert Graham born January 1841 - Annie Graham (nee O'Donnell) born 1861. No marriage date for Annie and Robert
I have parents of Annie as Cornelius O'Donnell and Mary Ann (Shannon)
If anyone can help with any further details it would be greatly appreciated.

Re. my previous post on this,
Can someone do a look up on these two marriages;
Robert Graham and Ann(ie) O'Donnell about 1880 (or a bit later?)
Patrick Kildea and Martha Graham about 1904.
I was always told the marriages were in Donegal, but Strabane now looks like a possibility!
Thanks.

Hi Donegal
Welcome to RootsChat.
Thanks for the information on Robert Graham. Can I ask where you found the info as I have been searching for even the slightest scrap for some time, without any luck. (I would hate to think it was somewhere that I had already searched, and missed it!)
I will gladly take any information on his (or Ann Donnell's family)
Thanks again
Bill

Hi
I belong to the Graham Family. But not know if your Graham's are part of my
Family. I am like a magpie and gather any little bit of info
I can get my hands on.
I got the information on your family from the Church Registers.
Robert Graham's Father was John Graham.

Hi Donegal
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - been away for a couple of weeks. Thanks for the info on John Graham, it all adds to the great big jigsaw puzzle!
I am hoping to get back to Ireland again soon, probably to PRONI, but that's a plan for the future.
Thanks again
Bill
