Graham's of Cumberland

[Papamoa]

Hi Lorna,

Just to let you know that I spent almost 1/2 this afternoon locating information on your NZ Turbull's only to discover that you probably know all of what came to me via Stephen Donald.  Your posting on RootsChat lead me to believe that all you knew was that James Turnbull along with his wife and family arrived in NZ and settled in Taranaki in 1862-4.  It would have been more helpful if you had posted what you know of your NZ Turnbulls and not had me waste so much of my time.

I am a little upset as I am prepared  to help most people with their genealogy (I have been researching for 40+ years) but this effort on your behalf was, it seems, a complete waste of my time.

Regards, Bruce

Bruce,
I'm sorry that you wasted your time on my TURNBULLs.
However as the thread was GRAHAMs, and as my Rootschat profile has a link to my web pages, which includes a lot of the TURNBULL info, all of which should be readily available via any web search, and is on Rootsweb World Connect and GenCircles and Genes Reunited, I didn't expect anyone to go racing off on the TURNBULLs.
Stephen GRAHAM's descendants and forebears however - some of those that I believe will turn out to be connected are in my Rootsweb WorldConnect database LornaPotential.

I would expect people to have already checked basic bits like the IGI and known sources of info

For the record, the NZ burials located are mostly all family members apart from the William TURNBULL of Manutahi.  I've not managed to connect him into the family at all.

Regards
Lorna

Hi janjan, I think we were in contact in 2005 on here as we have Ewart's in common in Bewcastle. Please have you been able to make any progress on them or any lines relating to them since then.

Thanks

I wonder if I can prevail on one of you that has access to the Kirklinton Grahams' baptism records to check out a reference for me and see if they have a place name for the parents, as I was unable to read the entry. It is for

June 8th, 1810, for
        WILLIAM GRAHAM, son of John Graham of something, and Ann his           
wife    (Late Scott)
                         Thanks in advance
