John Graham Great Grandfather,married Alice Dickinson Great Grandmother

John Graham married Alice Dickinson on the 1st July 1850 in St. Mary's Church, Whitby.

The best man was George Graham the younger brother of the Groom,
One of the witnesses was the Parish Clerk Ralph Greenberry, who had a Joinery business in Whitby, and I believe was the employer of both John (Cabinet Maker ) & George a (joiner )  who later was also a undertaker and lived in Ruswarp (Whitby )

My Graham Ancestors from the Whitby and surounding areas

John Graham, my Great, Great, Grandfather ? I think he  was born in 1795 in Easton, Yorkshire ? and married Jane. (maiden name--unknown  at the moment, ) I believe she may have been  born  1799 in Pickering, .....,they had three children ? John a Cabinet Maker, (my  Great Grandfather ) George, a Joiner,and Undertaker,one daughter Esther.not traced at the moment. It is possible that John Graham later remarried, more research is still required.

in the 1841 Census John Graham ( my Great Great Grandfather ) stated he was a farmer of 3 Acre of Land. next to the Abbey of Whitby ?

his neighbour was Ralph Greenburry born in Whitby 1782, who was  in Business  in the town as a joiner ? he was also the  Parish Clerk with a connection with St. Mary's Church, he also acted as a witness to the marriage of John Graham and Alice Dickinson, in St Mary's Church.

I think it is possible that both my Great Grand father  John Graham (Cabinet Maker ) and his brother George Graham, joiner and undertaker, served their apprenticeship's with Mr. Ralph Greenburry. in Whitby Town.
