I've been trying for years to get past a roadblock in my research.
My oldest paternal ancestor that I can find is an Andrew Hudson (1796-1873) and his wife, Mary Graham (1802-1886) who married and immigrated to New Brunswick, Canada, around 1820. I believe Mary was one of three sisters who married and immigrated around the same time, and she may have been from Whitehaven. I believe HER parents were a Thomas Graham and a Sarah Kail.
Any help would be appreciated greatly!

Question... did your couple show on any census? (* answered my own question in next post)
Elizabeth Cail Graham was thought to have immigrated to N.B. in the year she married there, circa 1818 http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/m/e/s/Floyd-J-Mesheau/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0130.html
This site entry also implies that your couple may have immigrated before marriage as well, and names brothers for Thomas ( Edmund and William) http://hudsonfamily.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=post&thread=3"e=97
Just pointing these out as the couple may not have married in England
re:Graham side
The first site also appears to have something more on Thomas Graham as they seem to think he was born Gatehouse of Fleet Scotland, so you may want to contact the site owner and discuss sources...
