Need a little clarification:-
I have Edith Harker b1828 and Edward Graham bMay 1828 married 20/03/1854 all in West Witton
1911 census shows brother Robert Harker 85yrs living with her.
Pretty sure his parents are Robert Harker & Ann
Also have:-
Ann Harker bSept 1820 and William graham bDec 1820 married 24/11/1849
Her parents are Robert & Ann and I have her siblings as Robert abt 1826 and Eden born 6/09/1828 again - all West Witton
1851 census shows
Eden harker 22yrs visitor and house servant with William Graham and Ann
I believe Edith & Eden are one and the same person. can anyone verify/ disprove this???

Thank you - all the census information have her as Edith. Not sure which is correct - but i am pretty sure they are the same person.
-
Can you give me the reference for the 1861 census when she is with Edward please

Only found her on the 1871 (swinithwaite)and 1891 (star inn) census
-
3 children are on IGI under edward and eden, remainder are under Edward & Edith
-
Yes I noticed that on the IGI for their children.
Why I was asking because I wanted to check on Edward. In 1851 there is an Edward with brother William and his wife Ann down as born Swinithwaite aged 23 Farmer of 95 acres. Staying with them is a visitor Eden Ha(c)(r)ker aged 22 born West Witton

Added: sorry I see you put that on your 1st post. It was Edward that caught my eye.
-
Yes I saw that - there are other Harkers married to Grahams and Eden & Edward married in 1854 so am pretty sure is the same one and they have just merged eden/ edith along the way.

Hi keyboard86
Have you been able to find Eden/Edith and Edward in 1861 I can't.
I do believe they are the same person. Who the witnesses were to her marriage, Kenda1?

Not that it's any consolation Evie, but I've been trying to find them in 1861 too - as I'm sure have many others - I wonder where on earth they were ?
Pels.

I think they were either missed off from the original or weren't enumerated at all. Had a wander round West Witton and no sign of any of the family.
Eden/Edith must have been known as Edith later in her life if she was the one that died in 1915.

Sorry to join in so late but I have just seen this thread.
I think that I have a (fairly remote) link to this Graham family.
William Graham married Jane Pratt May 10th 1810 at West Witton.
They had 8 children , all at West Witton.
Their 7th child, Edward Graham bap June 15th 1828 at West Witton and buried March 21st 1892 at West Witton.
He married Eden (Edith ) Harker born c 1828 at West Witton and buried June qtr 1915 at West Witton.
That marriage was March qtr 1854 at West Witton.
They had 9 children, of which Edward Graham born c 1857 at Swinathwaite, was their 3rd child.
This Edward married my 4th cousin Elizabeth Thwaite Jan 7th 1880 at Aysgarth.
They had 11 children and moved to farm at West Burton.
Edward Graham died at West Burton March 3rd 1921 aged 63 and was buried at Aysgarth.
His wife Elizabeth (Thwaite) died Feb 1st 1930 aged 74 at West Burton and was buried with him at Aysgarth.
Edward Grahams wife, Elizabeth Thwaite bap Aug 17th 1856, was the 8th child of John Thwaite and Hannah (Pickard) of Howe Syke Bishopdale.
They married Oct 25th 1837 at Aysgarth and had 10 children.
That Thwaite line goes back to Rowland Thwaite of Helm born c 1608.
