Did nothing come of the idea of looking to see what it was on other censuses? That's helped me a few times when I really couldn't decipher a placename.
Threlfall (Southport), Isherwood (lancs & Canada), Newbould + Topliss(Derby), Keating & Cummins (Ireland + lancs), Fisher, Strong& Casson (all Cumberland) & Downie & Bowie, Linlithgow area Scotland . Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)

The 1851 census for James Graham in Manchester on Family Search doesn't seem to have a transcript, just an index, so no clues there.  Find My Past has a transcript but simply says Cumberland for place of birth.

It looks like James died in 1859 and was buried in Ardwick Cemetery, Manchester, so didn't make it to the 1861cenus and of course the 1841 only says not born in this county ie Lancashire.

Ah, that's a pity. Sorry. Seemed like a possible idea...

Kirkoswald in Cumbria is pronounced locally as Kirkussel as others have mentioned below.

Thanks. It looks like Kirkoswald is where our James came from then.

Have you tried Kirkland near Ennerdale in West Cumberland, I believe they shared Lamplugh church, St Michaels

Why would anyone write Kirkland as Kirkusel though?

I am a bit late to this post, but have you considered James Graham born in Kirklinton 18 August 1793 parents Francis and Ann?
