You've posted a lot of details but it's not clear why- are you looking for anything in particular about this Graham family?
The dates shown are before the start of civil registration in Ireland so if you have hoping to trace the family in Ireland you'll need to start looking for sources like church records.
Have a look at Introduction to Irish Records and My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start?.

As I said I am interested in any additions or corrections to the posted material, I hope to hear from relatives who may have some additional info.  I know it is an early time period and that I would have to hire a researcher, but perhaps some relative has already done that and is willing to share, hate to reinvent the wheel if it has already been done. At this point I do not have any extra money to hire a researcher, so am just fishing (get some whoppers sometimes), thanks for your concerns, Jim.

Thanks for clarifying your post (you didn't actually say that you were interested in any additions or corrections).
Have you had a look at the Armagh Resources posted at the top of this board?

Lord help me, sorry, have been having a large number of "senior moments" this week - actually runs in the WILSON family, grandfather, mother, aunt and three cousins all had or have dementia of some sort. I have not looked at the Sources in any detail yet, just glanced at them, but will go through them more thoroughly, thanks, Jim.
