Scotland / David Graham born 1791 in Glasgow (Lookup Request)
« on: Thursday 11 January 18 22:25 GMT (UK)  »
Hello!

I have had some trouble determining who my ancestor, David Graham's, parents are.
This is what I know about him: born 1791 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland and died 3 March 1865, in Cadder, Lanarkshire, Scotland. He married a Janet. I don't know for sure her maiden name, it could have been Graham also or Bowman (another thing I am interested in confirming).

Anyway, some people seem to believe David's father was a John Graham born 1765 in Scotland, died 14 May 1811 in Horry, South Carolina and mother possibly a Margaret Daron. However, I have seen nothing to prove this and would love to know if it's true or not. I found it unlikely because David was born and died in Scotland, and I see nothing to show that he ever was in America like them but I guess you never know what happened in the time between. Also, when I looked at John's will I didn't see a David but I think John might have been with another woman at the time? Maybe, if David stayed in Scotland, they cut him out of the will?

I would be REALLY grateful is someone was able to clear up this mystery!

Canada Lookup Request / Steele's of Canada possibly Ontario
« on: Thursday 11 January 18 21:30 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for any documents/info on an Ira Steele and wife, Rhoda Willer.

They spent some time in Canada and may have immigrated to America as well.

Their son, Aaron Steel, who was born 1822 in Canada and died in Michigan is my ancestor and I found his parents names on his death certificate but don't know anything else about them!
The reason I think they could have settled in Ontario is because Aaron's daughter was born in London, Ontario.

The last name could be spelt Steel or Steele.


Any information regarding his parents, Ira & Rhoda would be much appreciated!!

Tyrone / Irish Thompson's (Lookup Request)
« on: Thursday 11 January 18 21:14 GMT (UK)  »
Hello!
I am finding it quite difficult to find any further information on my ancestor, Elizabeth "Eliza" Thompson's (married name Weston), parents.
She was born 27 Dec 1844 in Omagh, Ireland. At some point she immigrated to Canada. She married a John Weston. I don't have a death date for her.

I believe her father was James Thompson, born 1820 in Ireland, and her mother may have also went by Eliza.

Any information on this family specifically James and her mother, would be appreciated! :)
