I think you will find the Armstrongs and Grahams were both "reiver" families. If you do a search rootschat with "reiver" you will comre up with a number of useful threads for your families

Hi Maria
The family of warwicks is mine William L warwick is my Gt-Grandfather. the marriage of Margaret Graham could possibly be connected, didn't the john have a surname and do you think there is a connection.
Thanks a Lot

Hi
I have my GGgrandparents marriage certificate Robert Graham and Margaret Armstrong married 25/12/1852 in the Church at Cockermouth. Both aged 26yrs. Father of Robert is David Graham blacksmith and Father of Margaret is George Armstrong labourer.
I did find David Graham a blacksmith in the 1841 census with his wife Margaret and children John, Thomas, Ann and Margaret.
I believe David Grahams Father to be Thomas Graham born c1760. Most of the family seem to have been born in Torpenhow.
I also found a family on the IGI for a Thomas Graham c1760 and Eleanor Armstrong c1762 both born in Crossbanks,Lowfield and Kirkland with son David born c1792 in Torpenhow. Other children include John c1787, Jane c1789, Mary c1794 and Eleanor c1797 all born in Torpenhow.
Is there anyone else researching this family?
Regards Maria
Hi Maria,
A bit of a vague link here. If you go to http://www.cloughie.com/www/indiI446.html you'll see one of my wifes ancestors, George Graham, and his details. He is brother to your David, uncle of your Robert. I haven't chased up the IGI references in the Torpenhow PR's yet, so I'm at the same stage as you, it's a bit speculative. But if you want to swap details on the siblings, feel free to PM me. It's always worth knowing who's looking at the same people, incase something crops up!
Cheers,
Paul.
