Hi

Can anybody give me any more information about James Graham and Mary Mirehouse.

I gather that the Mirehouses were a high standing family at this time. I also know that their grandson had the middle name Mirehouse (James Mirehouse Graham. b. 3 Aug 1806)

Many Thanks

John Graham

Hi John

Not a lot, but maybe a couple of pointers..

The marriage looks good.
IGI:
5 May 1746 James Graham & Mary Mirehouse, All Saints, Cockermouth, mar.
Possible baptisms, Mary:
21 Dec 1711 Mary d. of Jno. Mirehouse, Lowswater, bap.
4 Jan 1724 Mary d. of Jno. Mirehouse, Lowswater, bap.
11 Mar 1704 Mary d. of John Myrehouse, Lorton, bap.
26 Feb 1722 Mary d. of Jonathan Mirehouse, Dean, bap.

Have you any info on their offspring? There is an unsourced Anc, Tree suggesting they had at least 2 sons, George b. 1767 and John b. 1770, quite a gap from 1746

The Mary bap. 1711 looks to be person of 'high standing' (though they could still be related). Link > http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I104356&tree=Nixon

It doesn't look as though she married, unless I've overlooked it.

Have you seen this conversation? They would appear to be talking about same family albeit a little later on.

There is a man named Myrehouse Graham b. ~ 1764 died Oct 1833 who may be a son of James Graham and Mary Mirehouse. His first name is so unique that it makes me very suspicious. He shows up on United Empire Loyalist records. Here is a link to his entry on the UEL website: http://www.uelac.org/Loyalist-Info/detail.php?letter=g&line=208
