Razzy and michael (loadsa), please be careful! There are millions of us bob grahams here in north and west cumbria (I exaggerate but the advise is good).
Razzy, get the marriage and birth certs and try to exclude by profession surplus dads. Yours should be the easier task.
Michael, get robert and rebecca's marriage cert where it will give their ages and dad's name and profession. Then search for birth certs with right dad and "similar" profession. bob

Hi Bob

lol yes exactly, thats why i am not accepting some of the possibilities in the well known Ancestry UK site, as theres so many possibilities and i want to make sure i am correct in the ones i find

The robert is correct, but his parents seem to throw up a few possibilities

Razzy - yes mine seem to be Arthuret Grahams

Also it doesnt help when many Grahams from this area are classed in profession as Labourers

Hi all

Am new to this Geneaology stuff, so saw this thread and hoped u may be able to give me some advice

I am also looking for Grahams - mainly from cumberland or so it seems

Up my small and sorry tree i have a GG Grandfather

Robert Graham (born 1845) - Spouse - Rebecca Lumb (born 1834)

Roberts parents are supposedly

John and Isabella (born abt 1802)

The locations are Longtown, Cumberland

I am really interested in finding out more about John and Isabella and also if anyone knows of their ancestors too, that would be even better

I saw there was a NZ connection

Robert and Rebecca are supposed to have died in NZ if that helps anyone

Many thanks for any help

Michael Graham
