Re: William John Graham's children.
William John and Minnie were parents of at least five sons, one of whom, William Bolton Graham (b. 27 Dec 1908 born at Lenamore, Kilderry Parish, County Donegal; d. Tuckerton, Ocean County, New Jersey 25 Nov 1998). He emigrated to the United States, served in the U. S. Army before and during the Second World War (in North Africa, Germany & France), and was a residual legatee of his aunt Jessie’s estate. 

He moved to Tuckerton in 1947. He was an Electroplater for Sterling Plating Co, Atlantic City.  He owned businesses in Atlantic City and was co-owner of Brigitte's Salon & operated & owned Tuckerton Christmas Tree Farm.

William met his future wife, Brigitte Ruschen, in Germany.  They were married 2 October 1948.

I have only the IFHF transcriptions and not the original baptismal records, but the following causes me to suspect copying errors—or there was a William and MARY at Momeen having children the same time as William and ESTHER.  (I haven’t found anything on a William and Mary except these birth records.)

Graham, Jane
born  1865 Nov 17   address:  Craig
baptized St Johnston 4 Dec 1865     
father William Graham      mother Mary Lowry                                

Graham,  Anne
born  1865 Dec 7    address:  Momeen
baptized St Johnston 16 Dec 1865        
father William Graham      mother Esther Lowry 

Graham,  not recorded [could this be William John?]
born 1868 Jan 7   address:  Momeen 
Civil Rec Raphoe District
11 Jan 1868  baptized                        
father William Graham         mother Esther Lowry

Graham, William John
born 1868 Jan 14   address:  Momeen
baptized St Johnston    27 Jan 1868         
father William Graham         mother Mary Lowry

Donegal / Re:Maria Graham

You mention no dates for the Maria you seek.  Could she be Maria Graham, daughter of William and Esther, who was born on 7 December 1863 and baptized at St. Johnston Presbyterian Church on 21 August 1864?    She married William Vance on 26 May 1881, and in June they emigrated, arriving in New York City on 12 July, and from there went to Wheeling, West Virginia.

Maria’s brother, William John Graham, also went to Wheeling, but returned to Ireland in November 1898.  Their sister, Esther Jane “Jessie” Graham, and half-sister, Elizabeth “Lizzie” Chambers, also went to Wheeling.

Hi.  You wrote " am a direct of John and Jane Graham. Jane was a sister of Esters husband William..."   

William Graham who married Esther Lowry was the son of Matthew Graham; John Graham who married Jane Graham was also was son of Matthew Graham:  William and John were brothers.  John married his cousin, Jane Graham, who was the daughter of Matthew Graham's brother William.  William, John, and Jane's marriage records name their fathers.

Matthew Graham (b. 1710-20?; died after 1783) was father of William (died probably about 1806).

William was the father of Matthew (b. ca. 1770/75; died about 1851) and William (b. ca. 1770/75; died about 1853)

Matthew (1770s-1851), s/o of William, was the father of William (b. 1802/03; d.1873) m. Esther Lowry and of John (b. 1805/10; d. 1861) who married Jane.
William (1770s-1853), s/o William, uncle of William and John, was the father of Jane who married John.

I can provide a fuller genealogy--but unfortunately not a complete one--with documentation, if you want.

I will be grateful if you can tell me anything about the source of the information on the tree you were given on William and Esther's family.  I am particularly interested in Esther who married "Mr. Hogg."  Esther was born in 1870 and I have nor further information on her.  However, I have a Jessie, born about the same time as Esther, who married Winfield HOGE.  Thank you.

Derry (Londonderry) / Vance 1901 Census
« on: Friday 05 February 10 17:52 GMT (UK)  »
Harry Vance, s/o John, born in West Virginia, USA, 1886, was sent to Derry to live with an uncle after his father's death in 1897.  This uncle could be VANCE or GRAHAM (mother Maria Graham).  Harry returned to US 1903, age 16, a month before his 17th birthday.

Finding Harry in the 1901 census is the only hope I have of finding the place of his ancestors

I will be grateful for any information of advice.
