I suspect This is Probably my John Grahame but there is no way of proving it .
1881 census RG11/4553
Boarder at 22 years old note his job is a Drapers assistant single born in Bradford .

I need the wedding  cert really dont I :(
So frustrating

Hi
Surely if he was a commercial traveller this may be an explanation to why he wasn't at home and why his death is registered elsewhere. Probably best to explore fact rather than fiction even if it seems far more interesting  ;)

Hi again Jean

There is a death on FreeBMD for a John T Graham in N. Bierley in the Sept quarter of 1913.  9b 11. He was 59 years old so born about 1854. Could this be him, if as his wife says he was still alive in 1911?

N. Bierley was in the West Ridng of Yorkshire.

Jan


I would send for the certificate, but if you don't want to spend the £9 you could look for the burial of this John T and obituary.

I agree I tend to be a bit of a romantic and sometimes surmise things .
I am going to have to wait till next month to buy any more certs as I have bought 7 this month .Bit naughty really . I'm pretty sure that The Bierley death is the  wrong Graham as he is a bit old :(
NO I think you are right I have to stick to the facts and so  can only keep plodding on and look for a wedding certificate to give me his fathers name and his age and where he was born . I know nothing really .
Many thanks all . If you have any ideads then Im always monitoring this thread .
Best wishes and many thanks for your kindness all
Regards Jean x

Hi Maid Marion .. I forgot to say yes to that 1881 census . That is the one I think it is .
But then I just have to stick to facts and all I can say is that she is the one that I have not eliminated from all the certificates I sent for .
Ever onward :)

As you already have some marriage certs for Mary Widdop it would be worth trying to trace those couples on later census to see if they stay together.  If you can't as one of the men dies then you may have a scenario where she remarries to John Grahame.

Hi Maid Marion
I am just going through the 1891 census looking at John T Graham  I thought I would just sit and trawl .
I came across John Graham High Street North Bierley born 1859 Married to Anne Graham with Children Albert 2 and Reg 4 months .
This could be the John Graham  listed as died in 1913 in Bierley . But I am dismayed .. look at his occupation :( Its a DRAPER TRAVELLER . Oh My Word :( !!
