Grahams of Shettleston
« on: Saturday 22 April 17 15:08 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

New to the site and first post.

Looking to see if anyone is researching the Graham families of Shettleston around 18oos. I have traced back to 1841 to a James Graham born to William and Margaret Graham (Addie) (Millerston, Hogganfield, Lanarkshire) but cant find anything about them. Strange thing is, when James dies in 1909,(Glasgow) his father is listed as James Graham and mother as Christina Graham (Cummings). James married Mary Cuthbert in 1862 and this is confirmed on her death cert in 1905. How can the parents change from his marriage cert to his death cert??  Confused........ :-\ :-\

Thanks if anyone can help.
Bryan

Hello & welcome.
First thing to say is how confident are you that the death cert. is the right James Graham ?
Have you tried to find a James & Christina Graham on the census ?

Hi Jim,

Thanks for reply... very confident this is the same James as it states widower of  Mary Cuthbert on his death cert and his marriage cert. Have tried to look for James and Christina but no success. Cant find a birth cert for James either b: 1841.

Thanks

Civil Registration didn't start until 1855 in Scotland so you will need to look at the Parish Registers.

Have tried parish registers Jim on scotlandspeople... drew a blank. I'm starting to think they might have been born in Ireland or somewhere else.    ??? ???

Thanks Rosie,

James marriage cert lists his father as William Graham (farmer) and his mother as Margaret Graham (ms:Addie) but cant find any info on them at all. Really stumping me from getting further back!!

Welcome from me too  :)

What occupation was given for his father 'William' on his death reg?

When he married Mary in 1862, who were the witnesses?

What were Mary's parents' names? Christina and James do seem to have been early used names for Mary and James' children.

When you say you had worked back to 1841, is this to a specific census entry? Can you post the details you have? Have you found any thing for him for 1851 & 1861?
