Hello, not sure if this will help, but here goes . . . My oldest Graham is John 1771-1832, family lore suggests his origins were Poyntz pass,which I have been unable to find. He married Helen Hamilton (born Belfast)1773-1855. They had children Anne(1800-1892), Jean(1802-1805), James(1803-1833), Margaret(1805),William(1807), Alithea(1808-1890) m Dobbin, John(1810), Samuel(1812), Helen(1815-1861) m McDowell, & Sarah(ca1817-1899).
My descent is through Alithea Graham and Leonard Dobbin. I have sadly no further info on any of the other sibs.
Hope this is some help.
Mary

Hi all;
I am the only son of george Victor graham, (b) 25 Aug 1910 in Ballyshannon; His father "Francis Graham" married a "Prudence Dunlevy". I have an extensive family tree of my mothers family (Harron) and my grand mothers family (Dunlevy). However the Graham family line is very difficult to get info on. If anybody has any information on the Graham's from the Ballyshannon area please get in touch. I also have (on my wifes side) a link into the Graham's of Fermanagh around the Lisnaskea and Enniskillen areas.
