Peter Graham, b. 1777 in Dundrum, Dublin,
did you manage to look at the information on ancestry?i the same peter graham. the person whom this tree belongs to has peter graham born in1777 and died in keady on 24/dec/1844,his wife is given as mary hillen(1778-1863).the children of peter and mary are also listed,births only, but he has archibald and his descendants. i had a quick flick through your australian thread and the great help you found there seems to tie in with the tree on ancestry.
the person the tree belongs to is based in n.s.w. in australia.
Dear Tony,
Thank you for this information. I did refer to Ancestry and it was from them that I first noted that Peter was recorded as being born in Dundrum, County Dublin. I have not been persuaded yet that it was Dundrum, Dublin. As you probally are well aware that the townlands repeat themselves and in this case there is a townland called Dundrum at Keady. I have seen this townland mentioned in documents (in my possession) relating to land transactions with Peter Graham. With regard to the NSW connection I think it can be established as true as I have photographs and letters sent back by Archy and his family from Sydney/Wollongong /Emu Plains, etc. There is a monument at a Guards Barracks in Sydney which tells about Archibald, his first wife Mary Campbell, his second wife Catherine Fox and his family. My e-mail address has been included on the monument.
Might I just add that everything that I now have on the Graham family is due to the hard work of the Rootschatters in general and Siouxie and JJ in particular.
Yours sincerely,
Newgent.
