Mary Graham / Andrew Hudson

[shanehudson]

Hello, I'm looking for information on an Andrew Hudson (1796-1873) and his wife, Mary Graham (1802-1886) who married and immigrated to New Brunswick, Canada, around 1820.  Andrew is as far back as my Hudson tree goes, and I'd like to go further, if possible, but this has been a dead end for some time.  I believe Mary was one of three sisters who married and immigrated around the same time, and she may have been from Whitehaven.

Mary's parents MIGHT have been a Thomas Graham (Grame?) and Sarah Kail.

Hi shanehudson

Welcome to Rootschat.

I see that there is a submitted entry on the igi for a marriage c1825 but as is quite usual for a submitted entry it does not give any useful information. 
If you give us some more information as to their children with birthdate/place and anything else you think may be relevant we may be able to help.

Thanks for the reply!  I'll see what I can give beyond that... my problem is that my records are fairly good after they got to Canada (around 1820-25) but before that... not so much.  Here is Mary/Andrew:

Mary Graham (b. 1802/?/? d. 1886/?/?) (parents might have been Thomas Graham and Sarah Kail, of the Whitehaven, Cumberland area)
Andrew Hudson  (b. 1796/1/1 d. 1873/11/15) (We've always thought him to be from Yorkshire, but we're not sure... he's been a total dead-end for us, unfortunately.  I was hoping to find record of him in and around Whitehaven as well, though, as people didn't stray so far for mates then...)

After coming to Canada, they settled in Kent county, New Brunswick.

Their children:
- Sarah Hudson (b. 1822/4/27 d. )
- John Hudson (b. 1823/12/18 d. )
- Jane Hudson (b. 1828/11/26 d. 1886/4/22)
- Andrew Hudson (b. 1829/1/1 d. 1887/11/22)
- Elizabeth Hudson (b. 1831/7/2 d. 1926/1/1)
- Mary Hudson (b. 1833/9/9 d. 1926/1/1)
- Thomas Hudson (b. 1835/10/9 d. 1844/6/28)
- William Hudson (b. 1837/11/19 d. 1905/11/22)
- Eliza Ann Hudson (b. 1840/6/19 d. )
- Jonathan Dickinson Hudson (b. 1843/1/1 d. 1925/11/9)
- Jessie Hudson (b. 1846/12/18 d. )

I think that's about all I have, unfortunately.

Don't you believe it

All I have been able to find on this family so far is even more submitted igi info without foundation. 
Have you established why Jonathan was given the middle name of Dickinson, perhaps this is a maiden name of one of his grandmothers.

No, I haven't found the significance yet, but the fact that that name is so incongruous with the rest of the Mary's, Andrew's, Elizabeth's, Thomas's and William's in my tree did not escape me... maybe I'll dig deeper into that...
