Grahams of Egremont
« on: Tuesday 28 August 07 15:09 BST (UK) »
I am a new member and I am attempting to research my family on my mothers side - the Grahams. My mother,born 12 April 1912, was the daughter of John Ewart Graham, born 31 December 1886. he was an Iron Ore miner as was his father William Graham, born 1859 in Egremont. John Ewart worked at the Florence Pit all his life, so I assume that his father did too. Where I am becoming a bit unstuck is Williams father, who I think was another William born in 1832, also an Iron ore miner. His wife was called Hannah originally from Muncaster. They had 2 sons George and William. Something tells me that George went to Liverpool, and it is there that I have lost the plot. I am also lost on going back from William 1832 - is there anyone out there who could help because Hannah appears to have disappeared after the 1861 Census as does her husband William though there is a William in the 1871 Census living in lodgings and is a general labourer somewhere in Carlisle whose birth details tally. A nudge from anyone would be grateful.

You must be careful (no guessing!) as there were two Wm GRAHAMs aged one and born in Egremont in the 1861 census -

the one you found (of Wm and Hannah)
also a son of John and Alice

You really need William's marriage certificate to get his father's name.
