Grahams of Shettleston

[Bryan60]

Interesting find just there Isobel.

I looked at William in the 1841 census and then looked at the 1851 census where he is listed as an agricultural labourer age 33. (he was 32 in the 1841). Farm owners are David & Janet Graham but the interesting point is, the grandsons are Thomas & David Dunlop (ages 11 & 9). David Dunlop was witness at the marriage of James Graham & Mary Cuthbert in 1862.By this time he would be around 20 yrs old.

Mind boggles... What do u think?

David Dunlop was still working at Auchencree Farm in 1861. Interesting coincidence that the possible William Graham was working on the same farm in 1851. Trying to work out what the relationship was, if any, between David Graham Snr and Janet ( who also seems to have been born Graham) and this William who was working for them in 1851. The Dunlop children are the sons of a Thomas Dunlop and Elizabeth Graham. She appears to have been born in 1816 to David and Janet.

Possible that David snr and Janet were Williams aunt & uncle?? William was dead by 1862 by the time James was marrying Mary Cuthbert.

I think then that William, who was born around 1818, may have been Elizabeths brother.

Isobel, is this Auchengree? still exists, Garnkirk estate. The lairds were coincidentally Dunlop's.
