Grahams of Shettleston

[Skoosh]

Bryan, that's all I have on William Graham. Stepps farm was roughly where the present Coop on Cumbernauld Road is, Garnkirk. Might be a burial in Chryston kirkyard?

There seems to be really poor OPRs for Shettleston. Hard to see much there pre 1855.

James Graham's 1862 marriage was Church of Scotland.

Stuck now trying to think how to move on parents William and Margaret...

No wiser as to who William Graham and Margaret Addie were, but James Cumming and Christina McCallum show as his adopted parents. James Graham signed his adopted father, James Cumming's death cert in 1868:

Could you send me the full cert for this Monica to my e-mail address?

Just a thought about all this..........

James Graham is born 1841 and his parents William and Margaret (Addie) both die. He is adopted by his uncle James and Christina Graham (Cummings). As he is adopted he signs James Graham's death cert in 1868 as his adopted son, and by this time has his own son named William (called after his natural father) who then signs James's death cert in 1909 unaware of his fathers natural parents William & Margaret.
Seems possible but hey that's geneology for you.
