Joseph Graham

[rosie99]

I would like to think we could find something without you needing to resort to DNA at the moment.

James Beard Graham (full name) is appearing on electoral registers at 5 New Quebec Street in the 1870's.  I have just located him there in 1871 on census, I was pleased to see him listed on ER's with his full names as it confirmed when I found him in 1871 that he was the same James I had been looking at. 

RG10/165 f49 p22 - 5 New Quebec Street

Clutching at straws, I wonder if she is related

Elizabeth Norton-unmarried -age 80 Annuitant- bn London

Martha Norton married David Graham (bachelor) 5 Sep 1814 St George in the East
wit. John Flint. Eliza Norton. Ann Bone.

Death
GRAHAM, MARTHA       age 89

Probate names a Henry Graham & Jane Louisa Graham (spinster) as 'two of the executors'
She has an address of Prior Park Buildings in the parish of Lyncombe & Lynton, Bath but died at 2 Upper Hillmarton Villas, Camden Road, Holloway which is the address also given for the executors.

Her husband David died 14 December 1840 address - Prior Park buildings to the inexpressible grief of his wife & friends - Bath Chronicle and Weekly Gazette 17 December 1840. GRO has his age at death as 75.  Shame he died before a census.

I wonder if this could be 'your Joseph'     I can't see a marriage at the moment for him and Jane Millburn but could he have been married before and produced your Henry.

Trinidad Almanac - A Joseph Graham mentioned though nothing to link him with the family that I can see

Thanks for finding out all these things Rosie.

Reginald Lockhart Graham interests me very much

This tree mentions him...

https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/tree/86791188/family/pedigree

The person that made the tree is a strong DNA match to my paternal grandad although not a match to me.

[rosie99]

Her tree cannot be right   

I see, she has Reginald Lockhart Graham as the son of your Henry & Maria yet his birth registration gives mothers maiden surname as Millburn.

Reginald and your family do not appear to connect to her Graham's, they are set up as a separate tree. 

[rosie99]

When Sarah Simpson Graham marries in 1869 she names her father as Joseph Graham -occupation Merchant

I agree Rosie, there is a mistake for the reason you say.

The test kit my Granddad's a match to belongs to her Granddad Ron. There aren't that many generations that separate them (see image attached) according to her, so the amount of DNA they share share should be much higher than just...
