John Graham Dromore Co Down

[pentio]

John Graham was my gg Grandfather.He was born in Dromore Co Down in 1847.
When he was 19 years old he joined the Royal Artillery and was posted to St Helena.He reached the rank of sergeant during his service.

In 1867 he married Anne Elizabeth Ward in Ladderhill St Helena they had six children.He left the Artillery in 1891 and returned to live in belfast .The address given from his discharge papers was 14 Orchard Street which i believe was in the North Queen Street area.

I am looking for any information on his family connections from Dromore and would appreciate any help no matter how small I would also like to know of any old cemeteries in the Dromore area.

This query has been listed on Co. Down board. It would make sense if people reading this message here posted their replies on the Co. Down board to avoid confusion.

Pentio:
In case you have not seen the Ros Davies site, here it is.  As you will see there are quite a few listings of Grahams in Dromore.   http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rosdavies/SURNAMES/Graham.htm

Good luck!
