[Aboreal Addict]

Hi, I am descended from the Graham family. Do you have any info. relating to the family particulary about their work, are there  any records that exist?

I have found a couple of directory entries and phone book entries .
Do you know of any  info. in Huddersfield libray eg. ?
It is not easy living in the South,

Thanks Wendy.

What dates are you talking about?   If you can give some names and perhaps census details that would help.

Hi  Thanks for the reply ,
I have a whole family of masons, The main "men " are Joseph b. 1776 it says he was a mason on his son's baptism ,  Abraham who was b. 1804  was a stonemason all his life.  His son Benjamin  b. 1846  and his son Robert b.1865. 
They built alot of  Huddersfield  working with the Ramsden family.
They were employing hundreds of people during the 1860's and 70's ,   I hoped to be able to find something relating to them.

Thanks for that Dobfarm,

Abraham was probably too young and Joseph too old.   Its a pity.Though I have found Abraham in the 1837  Whites directory.
