Hi,
I am researching Grahams also believed to be of Netherby although they had moved to Skelton. John was baptised at Skelton Parents Robert Graham and possibly Mary Nelson? 30th May 1744, Father named in the register as Robert Grahame. No mother is named in the register but the Nelson name pops up in later censuses etc with the Grahams. John married Grace Hutton, formerly Relf 26th May 1781. Grace's first husband was Henry Hutton of Greystoke. She married Henry 1770 at Greystoke and had 2 daughters with him. Grace and John had 5 daughters, the one that I am descended from was Margaret born 1786 at Skelton and married John Swinburn of Dacre in 1814. We have a handwritten letter by Margaret's granddaughter Miss Jane Swinburn in which she state that John married Miss Graham a branch of the Grahams of Netherby. Did John's father Robert move from Netherby to Skelton? I have found a record of John's Will dated 1823, the marriages of his three daughters who married, associated Turner, Grindal and Swinburn, Grace and Sarah never married. John's occupation at Skelton was a carpenter and I also have records of his land dealings. He died in 1827 Happy to share information on this family and would appreciate contact with others researching the same family. Dene.
