Daniel Graham born 1901
« on: Friday 10 November 17 11:34 GMT (UK) »
Daniel was born in Glasgow but the family moved to Irvine, Ayrshire before 1911. He married Mary and they had two sons.
I understand they moved to Canada sometime in the 1950/60s.
I wonder if anyone can help confirm the date or location that they moved to?

Canadian Passenger Lists on ancestry cover - 1865 - 1935 - there are no air flights recorded for that later time frame.
Did the children have unusual names ?  Any other small detail that could help.   ???

Many thanks for your response Sandra.

I have checked Ancestry but as you say only earlier years, nothing as far as I can see for the 1950/60s.

I'm not totally sure of the names of the sons but Daniel & William most likely.

Such a common surname as well - difficult to know which area of Canada we might be looking at.

Hi,
A ship record in 1934.
Was one of their sons called Francis?

Think OP was saying arrived 1950/1960  - sons names possibly Daniel and William   ???

He said he wasn't sure of the names.
The address where they are going is in the same area.
