Title: George Graham - b 1888 Yetholm, Roxburgh
Post by: elizabethh on Wednesday 05 February 25 13:48 GMT (UK)
My brick wall in the this particular Graham family from Yetholm is George.  born in 1888 he was the son of John Graham and Margaret Burn.  The last record I have of him is the 1901 Census living at home with his parents.  I have searched high and low, I may have missed something.   Elizabeth.

I imagine you have seen the many records for a George Graham travelling to New York several times (I think he worked on the ships) - he was born c 1888 and was Scottish. I realise this is vague.

The first occasion may have been 1910 - but the journeys continued over several years.

The only other record I could find as a possible is for a George Graham going into Roxburgh District Asylum 10/9/1909 Patient no, 100463 or 80333 (It says he had two ID numbers) You can get a copy from the website for which you do have to pay of course. Maybe him!
Regards.

Thank you SS  :).

There is a death in the paper for a George Graham of Drycleuchlee in January 1941, he left a widow and grown up family (son and daughter) which could be that George
