Hi

Thanks for your reply. My Hugh McDonald died Nantwich, Cheshire a month before 1841 Census. That's the dilemma I have had for years - no idea where he was born.  He did have a son Hugh who did show up on the 1841 Census in Nantwich.  Is this the Hugh you found in 1841?

Many thanks for looking into this.

regards
Penny

Belfast Newsletter 29 July 1872 has a death notice, "Graham-July 28 at 3 Steammill Lane, Gamble Street, Belfast, Thomas Graham, aged 33 years".  No parents, nothing more.

Ancestry has Civil Reg Death Index 1872 for Thomas.

LDS have nothing, have traced the film number from Family Search and Ancestry at their local research centre

Irish Gen has nothing for him and I wondered where to go next to establish more detail.

Also have his possible mother, Mary Graham, similar issue.
Belfast Telegraph 22 January 1886. "Graham-January 21 at Budore, Mary wife of Joseph Graham"

Nothing on Irish Gen or Ancestry. Any ideas on next step?

Many thanks

Thanks aghadowey, most helpful.

Thanks gaffy.

If John Graham d 1909 was buried in the John Graham Legoniel family burying ground how would I go about finding that out. I have a few missing Grahams, including John's wife Margaret.

I'm familiar with the Grahams from Carnaugless however, have not been able to link the families.

kind regards

Thanks Aghadowey for your comments and information.
As stated earlier on this post, I am new to Irish records, geography and Counties.

Rachel had no date of birth on the headstone, just date of death and age. I have seen it.
And yes, dates can be troublesome. Walter, Rachel's husband was a lay preacher and well know in Avondale, Ak where they both died. Family legend was always that Rachel had not been truthful about her age. We can only imagine that family papers came to light after her death and hence the age on her headstone. I really doubt they would have left her headstone engraved with incorrect age.... but...

My initial information came from Ros Davies surname site where I found Joseph Graham b1807 as child of Thomas Graham and Margaret Dunn. Hallmark sent me the death details for Joseph and he died at Ballycarngannon, Drumbo, 5 July 1880 aged 73. I only had the death notice Belfast Newsletter and it said, died at his residence Boardmills.

Joseph had a brother Robert b 1809 (from Ros Davies) and he died Idaho 1893.

This memorial links his parents to Thomas Graham and Margaret Dunn. My DNA links to Robert's family in USA.

It's nearly midnight down under and I need to sleep. The information I have may not be perfect but this is the first time I have had anything really concrete to start with in Ireland.

I will be investigating all information given to me today.

Thank you

Penny
