Marriage 1888 Bradford
John Graham to
Annie Kellett or Sophia Barraclough

Death reg Bradford
Jun 1/4 1897

MODIFIED Just confirming I posted this info because catclaws mentions him in a previous post, he is not the John T Graham found by Groom.
Quote "N. Bierley in the Sept quarter of 1913.  9b 11. He was 59 years old so born about 1854."

Oh Dear .. Well at least it eliminates him from our enquiries . Isnt it funny how many John Grahames are travelling draper salesmen :) .
Thanks so much for all your help . At least you keep my imagination in check . Perhaps this is why it has taken so long .
It looks like that John Graham was straight up front doesnt it . Poor chap didnt last long in industrial Bradford . But not many people did .
 Many thanks again :)

I don't know if you are still following this but I have been trawling around and found this ..

1901 Census in Birmingham has a John Graham Commercial traveller wife Rose Grahame ne Fairbank . They have a couple of toddlers Eva and Henry
He is not on the 1901 Census with Mary Jane Grahame ne Widdop and her 7 year old son up in Yorkshire .. it has her as married not widowed .
1911 Census Rose Grahame has 4 children on dead . Eva is the eldest age 12  No sign of John Graham but again her it says she is married but not widowed .
Mary Jane Grahame is living in her draper shop with her 17 year old son John Horace  No Sign of John Graham and it says she is Married not widowed . I see a pattern here .

Both women say they are married but there is no sign of wedding certs for either .

1918 Rose Fairbanks gets married using her maiden name . how odd ?
1919 John Horace Grahame Gets married and on his wedding cert it says that John Thompson Grahame ( Commercial Traveller ) father is deceased .

I wonder how many more families he has created ?
Any ideas ?
BTW I have 4 Mary Jane Widdop wedding certs now and not one married to John Grahame .
Regards Jean
