Graham Brothers from Belfast to Canada
« on: Friday 10 November 06 22:48 GMT (UK) »
Hi to everyone in Canada.

Its Anthony from the Co Antrim board, i,am looking for any info on my two Uncles Micheal & Joseph Graham.
They went to Canada in 1928 & 1929 from Belfast, Wendi got me some info on them, thank you Wendi.

Looking for any thing on them or their family, i,am going to post two photos in the hope that someone will know them.

Photo 1 is the 4 Graham Brothers taken sometime before 1928, from L to R they are.

Micheal-Mark-Joseph-Daniel my father they are all dead now I do hope that someone will know something of them & their live in Canada.


                                                 Thanks

Hi Brenda. Thank you for your reply, this is all i have on them.

Ships list.

Michael James Graham, date of arrival 16/6/1928 Quebec.

Michael was in or living in Belleville Ontario in 1951 there are several Joseph Grahams who went to Canada in 1929.

Their father was John Graham, mother was Mary Jane McCabe Graham.

I sent 35 Letters to Grahams living in Belleville last year but no luck.

Sorry thats all i have on them :(



                                                   Thanks

Well, unfortunately the information available for marriages in Canada is 80/75
years ago, varies from province to province...so there won't be any infomation
available for a few years yet...
When the info does become available, there are some databases for searching,
 but even they are few.  They are listed on our resources child board.  (under
 Emigrants to Canada link above left.)   

I was going to point out that one brother has a middle name,...but you posted at the same time...so glad that you put in it there...

 It's never too late to make a photo smaller...reduce it about 25% ( to 75% of original) and it should be fine...Then hit modify back in the original query...and
save the new photo as you did before.

Good luck with your search...J.J.

Hi Anthony,

I asked if you knew where they were in Canada because when I saw the photo of 'Uncle Joe' I thought he was so familiar.  I sat staring at the photo for a long time but nothing came to me, other than I've seen him before.

Anyway, I've never lived in Ontario, so chances are I haven't seen him unless they moved elsewhere.

Good luck in your search
Brenda

Hi brenda. The photo of my uncle Joe i had to cut abit of it out the person in it could be alive.

I also have a photo of him and a lady but i can't post it for she could be alive as well.

Brenda, JJ, & Grub, thank you for your help on this.



                                                   Thank you
