Alexander Graham and Ann Campbell

[Neale1961]

Ann Campbell Graham died  17 /09/1869 Island of Islay Garttoist Kilarrow Argyll parents unknown. I have not gone for the death certs.

The only death I can see for Ann CAMPBELL / Ann GRAHAM in  1869 Bowmore or Kilarrow was for someone aged 26. Mother’s name Carmichael.

You need to look at that certificate to check that her age has been correctly indexed. It it isn't, use the 'report error' tab to tell Scotland's People and get it corrected.

I have not gone for the death certs.

You should do, because sometimes the name of the informant can be a useful clue.

i would echo Forfarian's comments.

This would appear to be a transcription of the death in question from Familysearch. Here her age is given as 80 and her parents are shown as John Campbell and Mary Carmichael. Looking at Scotland's People it is probably the death showing in Tarbert RD (index has mmn as Campbell).

thank you everyone. I will attempt to correct the death of Ann Campbell Graham with Scotland's p. I have checked the info with familysearch and  it matches up with the headstone.
I have a copy of the marriage  cert for MARRIAGE 04 April 1762 Kilninver and Kilmelfort
John GRAHAM to Marjory McMILLAN and have found Duncan is the father of John Graham. This is the only info I have on this couple. This is their children

People are thinking that this is not Alexander. But there appears to be a big gap from 1870 to 1877?

Not necessarily a gap.
It is just that the last recorded baptism for that couple was in 1870.
It is quite possible there were other children, who like Alexander, do not have birth / baptism records.

Unless Marjory died early, or was quite old when she married, one would normally expect a woman to have children across a 15-20 year period. So it is possible that during the 1770s there were another 4 children (including Alexander), whose records no longer exist.

Having a look at the 1841 census for Argyllshire, there are quite a number of very elderly people with the Graham surname that could be from the same family line.

thank you and I have contacted Scotland's p and they will amended the death of Ann Campbell Graham.
 I have had a look on Ancestry and there is a death for a John Graham in Kingston Jamaica. 1799. did people in those days  travel to Jamaica from Argyll and what would they being there for ? He would have had to have left in the late 1790's if the last child was born in 1777.

[Neale1961]

Lots of Scots and English in Jamaica - plantation owners, merchants, and labourers / managers for other Scots.
John Graham is a very common Scottish name, so I would tread carefully and avoid jumping to conclusions.
