James Graham - married at Galashiels

[BillyF]

Please may I have fresh eyes on this?

James Graham married Mary Scott on 24th December 1920 at Galashiels. His parents were William and Helen Graham.

In 1927 Mary (Scott) Graham married John Tinline on 30th December.

The thing is I have been unable to find either a divorce or death for James Graham. The marriage extract for James and Mary does not show that it`s been corrected.

I have an extract for a James Graham who died aged 26 in 1924; however, he was single and his parents were Alexander and Jessie, so not the right one.

My connection is with Mary, she was my grandfather`s cousin, but I`m keen to finish of James, so to speak.

Thanks in advance

Is Mary described as single, widowed or divorced on the 1927 marriage certificate?

[BillyF]

Thanks for your interest and quick response!!

She`s a widow.

What was James occupation on the 1920 marriage cert?

[GR2]

You say his parents were William and Helen Graham. Is Graham Helen's maiden name as well as her married name?

[CaroleW]

The 1901 has 4 James Grahams with parents William & Helen with birthyears ranging from 1879-1899

How old was he on the 1920 marriage cert plus the previous questions re his occupation & Helen’s maiden name

[BillyF]

Thank you for the replies.

James Graham, possibly middle name letter L, but it is difficult to read, was aged 21, a Woollen Millworker,a Bachelor, living at Halliburton (also difficult to read)Place, Galashiel.



 His father was William Graham, also a Woollenn Millworker.

His mother was Helen Graham, ms might be Kenton( also difficult to read)

Mary Scott was aged 20, a Spinster,a Woollen Millworker, living at Queen Place, Galashiel.

Mary`s father is listed as William Scott, a Woollen Millworker. William Scott was actually her stepfather.

Mary`s mother is Mary Scott, ms Johnstone.

From others research, I think mother Helen's maiden name was RENTON.

Likely marriage for parents:

Wiiliam GRAHAM an
Helen RENTON
1896
775 / 102
Galashiels

Birth entry for James?

JAMES RENTON GRAHAM
Mother's maiden name RENTON
1899
685 / 2 / 463
St Andrew (Edinburgh)

Were there any Graham children born between 1920-27?
