Guys, thst's terrible.

All those poor children in hospital. Workhouse I expect, or did things get better?

Hi,

A lying in hospital was a maternity hospital.

Is this little Emma?

Could do with some more like that.

The 1901 census has Joseph Gillman as an inmate he is classed as widower occupation painters labourer. I cant see the institutions name.

Civil parish Chelsea

This is the Institution..

I suppose it shows how life was for people at the bottom of society. When I started out trying to find my family, I never thought I'd find so much sadness.

It's looking like a lot of the Graham branches die out.and having so many female children, makes finding other living Grahams a bit slim.

Sadly, this looks like Joseph Sr.

I'm just wondering if this is young Joseph in 1901...

Many Thanks All.

At least one survived, to build a life.

Is there anything to push his life forward?

 

[Col. Gibbon]

Hi Everyone.

I have some dead ends, in my tree.

George Graham, Born Dudley, Wife?

Thomas Stuart Lever Graham, Wife Esther?

George William Graham born March 1858, Wife Priscilla? or something like that!

Alice Louisa Graham, Husband George Thomas Darnell

Any help with these would be great.

Hi,

Death registration:-

Jul/Aug/Sep 1860 - Westminster St. Margaret

Thomas Stuart Lever Graham

 

[Col. Gibbon]

Did Thomas have a child before he died a year later?

Hi,

Only 2 baptisms to Thomas and Esther Graham on the London Births and Baptisms.

George Graham
1 Sep 1839
St Pancras Old St Pancras

Stuart Thomas Graham
20 Feb 1842
St. Marylebone

 

[juliejtp]

Did Thomas have a child before he died a year later?

Births Dec 1859
GRAHAM Thomas Stewart Westminster 1a 297

Hi,

This baptism appears on the familysearch site but no parents names have been transcribed.

 

[Col. Gibbon]

That's a shame. I was hoping he got married. I can't find anything much on him.

I must admit, I've not found this experiance quite depressing, as it seems almost impossible to find any other direct Graham decendants, only very distant family links.

I have lots of family in other countries, like Poland through my ex wife, Swizerland and the US / Canada through my mother's family, but no one here, to be there for my kids, if anything happened to me.

 

[Col. Gibbon]

Hi Julie.

I've been trying to push forward the family on a new line I found.

Parents
George Graham And Caroline McCarthy

Children
William George Graham, March 1858
Esther Graham, July 1860
Caroline Ferguson Graham, 15th July 1862
Stuart( Stewart) Thomas, 13 Feb 1865,
Death Mar 1866 Stewart Thomas Graham, age 0, Westminster 1a 259
Stewart Thomas Graham, 26 Sept 1866, St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 455
Alice Louisa Graham, Dec 1878

I'm resonably sure these two Stewart [Stuart] are correct. The second Stewart seems to have got married, but I can't find a good fit.

Then in the new generation there is another Stewart [Stuart]

Parents
William Graham & Priscilla?

Children
Caroline Rose Graham, March 1887
George William Graham, March 1887
Hannah Graham, June 1889
Henry Walter, September 1890
Alice Graham, 22nd April 1896
Stuart Graham, 29th June 1897

Now, depending how he spelt his name, I've found a few wives for him, but I have no idea who if any, are his.

Marriages Dec 1918

Could you please help me sort this out?

 

[juliejtp]

Hi,

Stuart Graham married Annie Bruce (widow) 11 Oct 1915. Their address is 4a Rodney Place, New Kent Road, London SE. Stuart was born about 1864. This was taken from his military record.

 

[Col. Gibbon]

Hi Julie.

Thanks for the confirmation, I took me ages to look through the FreeBDM lists and find the matching entries.

Did he survive the war, and any children?

 

[juliejtp]

HI,

He did survive. Stuart was on home duties but he suffered with chronic bronchitis. He was with the Royal Dragoons for 3yrs at the start of the century and joined up again in WW1 in the R West Kent. I could'nt find any children for he and Annie. Think she may have been passed that stage.

 

[Col. Gibbon]

Hi Julie.

Another dead end then, I guess.

Anything about the later Stuart Graham? I think he married in 1918, so he must have had kids.

There are so many Grahams in west London, they must be related in some way!
