Hi Geoff,
Would you send the marriages of Harrington to me please?
I am not educated in genealogy, would it be within reason if Thomas was born in 1813 in Eaglesfield as he says in later census', but if his mother (assuming Margaret) was from Harrington, she may have returned to Harrington to have Thomas baptized there?
Possibly George Graham married her there in Harrington or possibly the 1800 marriage of George and Margaret is the same couple I am looking for as I have just found out today that there were earlier siblings thanks to your help.
You might find these GRAHAMs in Eaglesfield in 1841-
Margt GRAHAM 66 AgLab
Jane 33 AgLab
Eleanor 21
George 5
Wm 2
In 1851, this could be them-
Sand Lane, Cockermouth
Margret GRAHAM (wid) 77 Harrington
Jane (unm dau) 42 Cockermouth
William 12 Cockermouth
Margaret 6 Cockermouth
Jane 2 Cockermouth
Was this your George's burial? - obviously quite a bit older
11 Dec 1833 Brigham, George GRAHAM (75)
My Brigham burials cover 1817-37 only.
The IGI has baptisms for extra children of George and Margaret-
1805 Ann
1808 Jane
Razzy
By the way -George was 27 yrs older than Margaret, possibly it is his second wife; or like his son Thomas, (born 1813) was a bachelor and 17yrs older than his wife Eleanor.
Maybe it is a gene inheritance?
