Thanks Ev. That sounds like them. Still doesn't answer the question re how they were related to Edward Graham. A good start though - thank you

Also - Edward Graham's Will of 1964 mentioned cousin Mary Scott (husband George Robert Scott), daughter of Nicholas Hambley (also cousin?) I can't find a link or where they fit into family. Lived in New Zealand or Scotland?

Lanarkshire / Eliza Jane Graham
« on: Thursday 02 June 16 03:43 BST (UK) »
Further to my query re Edward Graham (see previous thread) on Paul_McC's thread confirms Edwards Will & Eliza Jane Graham signed the affidavit. Edward died Blantyre 24 March 1966. I would like to know who Eliza was - what relationship with Edward who previously lived in New Zealand from 1925. Is she a family member or 2nd wife as first wife Jane died Christchurch 1963. Any suggestions?

If you go onto Scotland people i am sure you will be able to find out the mothers maiden name and then try and follow them back to Ireland.
There is also a marriage for Flora Massey the first of William's children and also William's marriage.

« on: Wednesday 01 June 16 07:21 BST (UK) ». Have been thinking - James Massey was a brother of Henry Davidson Massey B 2/1/1903 but he doesn't appear in the family list above. Could there be another Massey family?They all arrived on the same ship Ruahine that departed Southampton 31/7/1925 for Wellington

They were both miners.
Burnbank is a district in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland.
I think Jeanie Massey might be a sister to Edward Graham.

RE HENRY DAVIDSON MASSEY Born 02/01/1903 in Scotland & died Hamilton NZ 1974. Would like information on when he came to NZ. He was in the early stages of working so probably teenager & came with one of his brothers - James or Alec. His wife was Ida & she committed suicide 1951.
Thank you
Thank you
