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.
I intend to the follow this blog.
