Grahams of Mossknow
« Thread Started on Oct 3, 2009, 6:13pm »
Hi.

I am the grandaughter of Cecil Erskine Graham of Mossknow, Ecclefechan who was killed in the trenches on 1 July 1917 in Belgium near a town called Lens. I have found a great deal of fascinating information about the battle in which he died.

Are there any other Grahams of Mossknow out there also looking for family.

Hi Jess,

I am not sure if Bruce has been in touch with you yet but he was trying to get that picture you wanted? So did you finally make it on the www? I'm sure I have some information on Mossknow Grahams in one of the early newsletter editions.

I'll have to have a dig around

Hope you are well

Aye, Cameron

Hi Cameron.

Thank you for your response but I think you have mixed me up with someone else. I am a new member tracing the grandfather I never knew - in fact my Mum didn't know her father as he died when she was about 8 months old.

I would be very interested in seeing the newsletter you mention if you can find it.

Best wishes. Jess.

My grandfather's brother Claude Graham went out to South Africa. He bought a farm and was one of the first people to export avocado pears to Fortnum and Mason. I believe he married someone called Ellen and I would like to trace any children they might have had.

Best wishes. Jess.

Hello Jess, I found that article if it would be any good to you... it traces right back with your line although it is only a couple of pages. PM me your address and I can photocopy it for you. It goes right back to the mid 1600's.

Aye, Cameron

Many thanks for the copy of the newsletter Cam, it is most interesting. I understand that Ann Graham has now died and I am very sorry I wasn't able to make contact with her. Best wishes. Jess.
