Graham's of Cumberland

[Papamoa]

Hi Jane,

I don't have the baptism for William but have one a bit later on for Edward that maybe for same parents.

June 21st, 1813 -- Baptism of Edward, son of John and Ann Graham of Sunnyside, occupation of father, householder and labourer.

May not be any connection but thought you might be interested.

Best regards, Bruce

Thanks Bruce!  I was hoping to trace the movements of the Graham family from Newbiggin to Sunnyside,  and wondered if William would show me a stop-off. Only a sidebar in my searchings, but I am a bit desperate for clues as to which John Graham out of many I am dealing with.
     I appreciate your time and trouble --and to save you more of the former and latter, I already have what seems to be all of the children of this couple. Back to the drawing board....
                                  Regards
                                               Jane

For Lornahen, looking for a Stephen Graham of the Fauld

 - there's a will proved at Carlisle in 1810 for a Grimston Graham of the Fauld, which mentions his nephew Stephen Graham, son of his late brother Andrew, also his niece Fanny Scaife, wife of William Scaife,  and daughter of Grimston's brother David

A Stephen Graham was witness at the marriage of Frances Graham to William Scaife at Arthuret in 1808.

hope this helps

Hi again, all, and especially Bruce.
Do you know anything about this couple, whom I found among the Kirklinton MIs on
http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/longtown20/kirklinton.html

         ''Richard GRAHAM of Newbigging(sic) died April 14 1787 at 74 years
Also Mary his wife died 1795, age 74 ''

  I am hoping he might tie in with my John Graham who married Ann Scott in 1796.
There is a John Graham baptised at Kirklinton with a Richard as father. Unfortunately the vicar of those days was a minimalist...

 Also, does anyone know anything about court books? Am I right in thinking they may give information on the owners of various properties down the years?
                          Happy Tuesday to all
                                                    Jane

HI Jane
there is also this MI from Kirklinton with some Grahams of Newbiggin

To the memory of William the son of Peter Graham of Newbiggin who died July 5th 1787 aged 44 years. Also Ann wife of John Mattinson of Halfway House who died March 22nd 1831 aged 47 years.

cheers
Bridget

Bridget, hello! 
Many thanks for the Graham of Newbiggin MIs. Did you find them on the web site, or do you have some other source of information? I am trying to put together a history for this particular branch of the Graham family and am Newbiggin-ing to realise the enormity of the task! 
                          Regards
                                        Jane

Hi Jane
its actually my own website - i've got a few additional MIs to add to Kirklinton and Nicholforest but haven't got time to add them yet.
My own Graham family are from Kirkandrews on Esk so i'm afraid i can't help you with any of the Newbigging Grahams - i'm just as confused trying to sort my own lot out!

cheers
Bridget

Bridget,
           I must send you congratulations and thanks for your brilliant website. A great service to genealogy
                   Maybe one day we will sort the lot of them out, down to Adam Graham, born Eden, Middle East..
                              Regards
                                        Jane

New to RootsChat but very interested. It seems that most of this thread is about the northern Grahams. If anyone has any info on more westerly Grahams I would appreciate it. I'm back to 1800 around Bolton then moving west to Dearham. Unfortunately the parish records for Bolton around 1800 are practically unreadable.
Anyone wanting access to my lot can find them on
http://gw0.geneanet.org/bobgraham  and if the hyperlink doesn't work (it has been playing up) search for geneanet, on the site search for graham and workington and my bit is usually the first reference. It's all free and I'm selling nothing!!
