Hi Superwhite,
Thank you for your kind email and offer of being able to look at your tree on Ancestry.
Like yourself, I have left trees on Genes Reunited which are out of date and possibly now incorrect in some places. I haven't up loaded my 'Hunter' tree to Ancestry but those I have on there, I have made private simply because people will copy information without validating it even if I have made a wrong assumption myself!
I recently contacted the Swaledale Museum in Reeth. We visited this lovely little museum at least 8 years ago and I know I saw a framed sampler/embroidery with the names Jane Hunter and William Graham highlighted with in the embroidery. Even then I wondered if it was a relation but I had yet to tackle the records office at Northallerton! The curator responded that they didn't have anything like that in their collection. Perhaps it had been on loan at the time we saw it and hopefully it still belongs to someone locally who may be a distant relative?!
If I may, I would like to look at your tree relating to the Grahams' on Ancestry and I am willing to clarify the Hunter connection if you so wish.
With very kind regards
