Title: John Graham and Sarah Barwise
Post by: 0191alex11 on Saturday 09 November 13 15:34 GMT (UK)

Hi,
    Can anyone help with the following?
I have a John Graham marrying Sarah Barwise on November 14th 1824 at Wigton, Cumberland. They had my ancestor Sarah Graham, baptised February 26th 1826 at Wigton (married in 1847 at Newcastle, Northumberland, George Snowball), and possibly Frances Graham baptised January 11th 1829, Wigton and Anne Graham June 23rd 1831 Wigton.
I think on the 1841 census for Cumberland Sarah is listed as a servant (cant find parents or siblings) and on her marriage in 1847 John Graham is listed as deceased.
Any help with Johns parents much appreciated!
 :)

Hi,

The name is rather common even for the Wigton area, however this link might give you a staring point.
