Graham's of Cumberland

[LornaHen]

Manchester Courier ... 22 December 1827

Marriages

...At Wetheral, Mr William Graham of Carlisle, wine and spirit merchant, to Miss Smith of Wetheral....

Sounds interesting coincidence of occupation with Thomas Wilkinson GRAHAM being an innkeeper by 1871.

As this Grahams of Cumberland thread is way way long, I've started another more specific thread here

Im after info on  Robert Graham (1844) married to Rebecca Lumb (1834)  who travelled to New Zealand

Trying to find out when, where they went and why - also dd any others of the family go there

Plus there seems to be 2 or 3 possibles for who are the parents of Robert Graham - currently leaning towards Allan (alan, allen, alton)  Graham

any info appreciated

As the marriage details don't seem to be online, you really need the marriage certificate which will give fathers' names.  These are the index details that you need -

Marriages Dec 1864 
Graham    Robert        Huddersfield    9a   446   
Lumb    Rebecca        Huddersfield    9a   446

The cheapest way to get a certificate is from the official source.

Private companies will charge more than double the official £9.25

ok thanks Geoff  i will do that

[mgraham1]

I am pretty sure i have the right details for Robert Graham

It says  now on the 1851 census that Roberts dad is Alton Graham

Tho i reckon this is actually not the right name as it seems no Alton etc appears in the 1841 census anywhere who was born in 1818 as stated in the 1851 census

have checked UK and Ireland -  so i guess i need Roberts birth certificate first?

As Geoff suggested you really need the marriage certificate to confirm Roberts fathers name before trying to get a birth certificate

Have you looked at the image of the 1851 census?   It could be Allon so searching for variants of "Alan" might help.   There is also another Graham family living next door who may well be related.
You do need that marriage certificate though.

Searching for Allan/Allon brings hits in 1861 and 71.   Still living next door to Thomas Graham.   He has remarried and has more children.
Ah, I see you already have this
