I would expect the parish registers to be at Tyne & Wear Archives, and they will probably be able to supply paper copies for a small fee. Alternatively, there are transcriptions of a lot of Northumberland registers at FindMyPast.

Meanwhile, I've had a look at the National Burial Index, and there's a William Graham aged less than 1 buried 12 Nov 1805 at St Andrew, Newcastle. I don't know if this is the right church/area, but could this be the one born 2 Mar 1805? If so, then it might be worth investigating whether the ones born 2 Mar 1805 and 2 Dec 1805 are brothers.

Added:
A different database gives the 12 Nov 1805 burial as aged 8 years, but I think this may be a mistake. It also gives the parents as William, a watch glass maker, and Anne.

FindMy Past don't have an image of the original document, but they do have the transcription, sourced from FamilySearch: William Graham aged 18 buried 13 April 1824 at St John's Newcastle - no parents mentioned in transcription.

You say case closed for now, and sometimes sanity requires us to put things on one side for a while. However, it might be worth looking at this again some time. Perhaps try following back through one of the brothers or sisters - that can often reveal important clues. Also remember that the parish registers for that area were "Barrington Registers" between 1798 and 1812, and contain a lot of useful information on relationships, occupations etc. Finding someone in one of those can be like gold dust.

Barrington Registers - more info at:
http://www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk/Pages/Baptismandburialregisters17981812.aspx
and about halfway down this page:

As well as a research service, T&W Archives can provide photocopies of entries for which you already have exact dates and places. Ordering a number of those might work out cheaper than an hour's research, but I don't know the figures and you'd need to check this out. Some of the entries may prove not to be your family, but often you need to look at all the possibilities before you can decide which ones are likely or definite.

It costs £ 7 for her to send me a coppy from her death register which i dont mind paying but also said it would only give place of death ... no more info than whats on the net .. only other way is to get death certificate and regarding william it wont name parents and regarding elizabeth there are 7 approx deaths and i either buy all 7 or get them to search for correct one at £30 hr and she said could take 2hr to search
