I am afraid not, nor even if he did marry before 1935 (when he married my mother) but it would explain why he tweaked various dates.  Thanks for your interest.

Thank you for your reply.  No, it would have been around 1917-20 and would have been between William Albert Graham (who was born in Stratford, London but whose roots were in Yorkshire) and?  I have obtained a couple of marriage certificates which proved not to be the right William....  My father died in 1972.

Thank you for your reply.  Yes, I am aware and have used the online sources you mention.  I have, however, had real problems in tracing my father's family, the Grahams, due in part because he seems to have given false information about himself.  I am beginning to wonder whether his marriage to my mother may have been bigamous and he was anxious that his first, possible wartime, marriage was not traced.  I would really like to find other descendants of the Rothwell Graham family who may have additional information.  It was kind of you to post.

Thank you very much for your help.  Anything I can learn about any of this family would be useful.

Please does anyone know anything of John GRAHAM, an iron foundry pattern maker, born in1814 in Rothwell, and/ or his children, William, born 1835 in Bradford, Sarah, born 1846 in Leeds, John, born 1848 in Limehouse and Edwin, born 1852 in Poplar.  I would be very grateful for a lead on this family.

Thank you very much.  I will order a copy of the marriage certificate.  I am now interested in the Hardys as well!

Essex Completed Lookup Requests / Lilian Eliza GRAHAM

I am looking for descendants of Lilian Eliza GRAHAM,, born in Creighton Avenue, East Ham in 1898.  She had a brother, William Albert, and their parents were Albert William (an insurance agent) and Eliza Annie GRAHAM nee FRETTON.  I think my father was William but I have never been able to trace any of his family with certainty.  Any ideas?

Buckinghamshire / Re: Clarke Family from Haddenham
« on: Friday 28 August 09 20:42 BST (UK)  »
I am interested in the correspondence about the Clarke family of Haddenham.  I have traced my husband's family back to there via Tring.  I believe they were farmers.  The earliest one in our tree is William, married to Rebekah Piggott in 1767 in Haddenham parish church.  They had 4 sons that I know of, John 1768, James 1770, Charles 1774 and Joseph 1780.  Joseph, our ancestor, married Esther Allen and had moved to Park Hill Farm in Tring by 1823.  Does anyone recognise these names?  I am especially interested in finding out more about William...
