SO AND YES I AM SHOUTING: HE EITHER HAD TWO FAMILIES ON THE GO OR I HAVE GONE COMPLETELY MAD.

SAME ADDRESSES in 61 and 71 for HENRY, SAME FAMILY OCCUPATION, TWO DIFFERENT WIVES AND A DAUGHTER BY ANN, TWO SONS BY ELIZABETH (WHOM I ASSUME HE ABANDONED - SHE LATER MARRIED A HURST!)

heeeeellllp please!

Thanks

Sue

Edit: sorry it's late I'll check back tomorrow.

Sue,

Are you really sure this is the same Henry Graham? There are a lot of them.

Rose

I think you have the wrong Henry.

The one born in Islington is Henry William and he married Ann Susannah Barnes:

Births Mar 1846
Graham Henry William Islington 3 267

Marriages Dec 1865
Barnes Ann Susannah Islington 1b 387
Graham Henry William Islington 1b 387

What are the details on the marriage cert for yours?

Rose

Rose,

If I have that will be a relief! Thanks for replying I'll have another look today when my brain unscrambles. I went looking 'sideways' cos I just could not find a death cert for him anywhere!

Sue

These are all the same Henry,I think.So not yours.
How do you know that your Henry was born in Islington?

Hi Jim,

Sorry have been occupied elsewhere. Thanks for reply. This is the tree I am doing for aged BIL who has some recollections and they have proved right so far. (Usually after I have found something out)..lol

The family were from Islington. The Dachtler name rings a bell with him. He mentioned the Hursts as being the step family BEFORE I found that.

Sorry this is disjointed. So what I am looking for is the death. Logically between 1869 (allowing for the conception of the youngest) and 1871 when she states she is widowed.

I hope I have this right :-(((

Sue

Sorry, I'm getting confused here. I'll start again.

Ozi.

Thanks Ozbird I have these. You are not the only one confused:-((

I need to find the possible death record of Henry Graham.

Sue

No luck, Sue. Hope you find him eventually.

Von,

Sorry I don't know. Aged BIL's grandfather was a fish curer. That was George Graham b. 1870. My BIL thinks his gt grandfather (the Henry Graham whose death I am looking for) worked on the docks.

BIL was also under the impression that at some point the family was called Graer. Heaven alone knows if that is right :-((

He can't afford certs and I can't afford to buy him any cos I buy enough of my own.

I just really need to tie up this loose end with the death before I am happy. I hope you know what I mean!

Thanks

Sue

Sue,

At the very beginning you mention George James Graham. The one posted above is George John Graham. Just want to make sure we've got the correct one.

*bangs head against wall*

Well spotted, I am seriously going to weep in a minute. I am trying to get the census records up on Ancestry but they won't load at the moment. To see where i have gone wrong.

I bought the marriage cert for BIL's parents and his grandfather is just named on there as George Graham so no clue to middle name.

I have got in such a muddle with this. I'm sorry. I have to see why I have two different middle names!

The dreaded Lightfoots seem easy compared to the Grahams :-(((

If anyone can get ancestry up to check the middle name I would really appreciate it

*goes into corner with pointy hat with big D on the front*

Sue

So this is the George you are after?

Rose

Thank you Rose,

I spoke with aged BIL this morning to try and jog his memory (I need a big stick!).

I'll look at this info later,

I really appreciate your help.

Rose

I am still looking for Henry Graham's death between 1869 and 1971 when his wife states she is already widowed.

Sorry the Greyer info is great and I'll speak with George tomorrow. I am trying to find Henry's death so I can tie up that part of the family before his widow remarries Mr Hurst.

Sue

I have been having a dig around and I am more confused than ever.

George remembered the Dachtler and Hurst names. If he also remembers the Grayer name change that seems to mean that one of the families is not his
:-((

I'll phone him tomorrow and he will have to phone his brothers and see what they can recall. Otherwise I can foresee me going along the wrong path again!

I'll let you know what he says.

Sue
