Gateway Hotel Seattle USA 1924
« on: Tuesday 24 February 15 04:06 GMT (UK) »
My Great Uncle immigrated to Seattle from Edmonton Alberta Canada in 1924 and on his papers Thomas GRAHAM was taking up permanent residence in Seattle employed by the Gateway Hotel as an elevator operator.
Thomas GRAHAM
Selina (wife)
Muriel daughter- born @1917 canada(?)
Henry son- born @1919 canada(?)

Thomas GRAHAM is english, born in Durham County
Is anybody able to find American history on Thomas GRAHAM and family?
Thanks

Noticed Thomas and Selina were on the 1916 Census Edmonton West Alberta in 1916

Thomas Graham  32 Born Eng. Immigrated 1893. Fireman
Selina Graham  34 Born Eng. Immigrated 1893.

Wonder if this could be Selina - There is a death of a Selina Graham in Edmonton - Burial 10/12/1943 - Block 25  Plot 2

Thanks Sandra, I wasn't aware I had a reply. Yes, that is how I found that they had returned to Canada by cemeteries. Thomas and Selina are buried side by side

Have you thought of contacting Edmonton Public Library to see if they have any obituaries for Selina and Thomas Graham ? It may give information about the children, married name etc.,  ???

Like Sandra, I couldn't find any information about their stay in the States.  I was looking around last night and believe I found Selina's siblings and mother.  Another route you could try is trying to find their obituaries, in the event Selina, her husband or their children are mentioned?  If you don't already have Selina's parents' information, we can have another look for you.

After a quick search using a Washington State website, I didn't see the passing of their children in Washington:

I also did not see a record for any additional births in Washington for Selina and Thomas.
