I am trying to work out the siblings of my grandfather Joel graham who lived in essex, was married to margaret gould
Now my auntie has said that he had siblings by the name of Jim, Maurice, Bob, Edith and Aggie
and they lived at bridge farm chadwell
Whereas all i can find on the 1911 census
is siblings james thomas (could be jim), myrus (could be maurice?), blanche edith (could be edith), henry robert (could be bob) and theres a Ruth
no one seems to know a Ruth but there was definitely an Aggie
now there is a Ruth who died in 1919 so that may explain why no one knows of a Ruth, but people remember Aggie but she doesnt seem to be on a record anywhere
i have tried both Agnes and Agatha
If anyone can give me more details, i would be very grateful

Rosie is one step ahead of me.
I had just found the marriage (Myrus Graham to Emma Blanche Banham) and was going to suggest you looked at the new gro website www.gro.gov.uk (you need to register but it is free) to find all the children with Graham surname and mothers maiden name of Banham.

The GRO index only has Joel. Ancestry has wrongly transcribed him in 1881 as Jack the image says Joel

This family is still in England in 1881. If you believe they then moved to New Zealand it may be an idea to post on the NZ boards for details of their immigration and lives there
-
Possible Rebecca is in Ireland with son John Thomas born 1871 in 1911.
-
ok i found that they went to New Zealand on 21 Oct 1883 on the ship Taranaki
Robert, Rebecca, Myrus, Joel, John, Sam and James
to Caterbury NZ to work at the Kaiapoi Woollen Mills
Will post in NZ boards to see what happened next - as i know Myrus had to have come back lol
-
on ancestry New Zealand Estates
Samuel Graham of Sandon died 4 November 1891 relatives unknown.
Not necessarily the Samuel Graham of your family.
-
I see that you have had an excellent response to your New Zealand post with lots of information on the family out there. ;D
