Following is the information that I presently have at this time. My great great grand father was Joseph Graham all I know of Joseph was that he was a farm bailiff (labourer) on the estates of Sir Wilfred Lawson located around Aspatria, Cumberland, England. Joseph wife was a daughter of Irving (bacon Curers in Cumberland).
Joseph's eldest son was Thomas (Irving) Graham born in Blennerhasset, Cumberland 1848. He married Jane Hodgson (daughter of John Hodgson) on July 6, 1873 at the Church of Holy Trinity in Whitehaven, Cumberland. Jane was born around 1846. At the time of their marriage Thomas was a merchant mariner. Thomas after he left the sea became a famous labour leader interested in the plight of the coal miners.
Thomas Graham also later became a preacher and a marvelous speaker on religion and politics.
Thomas also had a younger sister born July 31, 1845.
Thomas and Jane had the following seven children:

(John Graham b.April 15, 1874 m.Annie, Eliza Angreaves Dec 24, 1895 d. Oct 11, 1945 Canada)
(Isabella Graham b. Sept 10, 1876 m. Josiah Careless Oct 22, 1896 d. June 1955)
(George Graham b. Dec 27, 1878 m. Frances Amelia Prince Dec 23, 1908 d. Sept 15, 1946 Canada)
(Thomas Twentyman Graham b. Sept 22, 1881 m. Charlotte Parkin d. June 1960)
(William Graham b. Dec 24, 1883 d. Dec 28, 1883 Moffs Bay)
(Ada Elizabeth Graham b. May 2, 1885 d. March 18, 1886)
(Maryann Graham b. March 26, 1889 m. John Taylor Gordon Dec 25, 1912 d. Sept 21, 1973 Rotherham)

John Graham was born in Little Broughton, Cockermouth, Cumberland on April 15, 1874. John worked as a railroad engineer in England. He also worked as a ship engineer between England and Costa Rica and on the coal branch as a stationary engineer. John died on October 11, 1945 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
George Graham I have contacted his descendent and they still live in the great Edmonton area.
Mary Graham, married to become Mary Gordon. Mary had 2 children named Margaret (Peggie) and Angus. Peggie now lives in Northumberland, England and Angus now lives in Rotherham, Southyorkshire, England
I do have additional information but this is the most of it. I was told that the family lived a long time ago in Netherby, Cumberland.
