Hi MMC528

To avoid us duplicating what you may already know - have you already got Census etc  for these people?

What kinds of leads are you looking for?

Cheers  :)

In 1841, Rothwell, there's just John, William and Joseph, no Sarah - I wonder if she's his 2nd wife?

Here's baptisms for John and brother Henry.

John Graham baptised 23/5/1813 Rothwell, parents William and Mary.
Henry Graham baptised 24/6/1824 Rothwell, parents William and Mary.
