I am trying to help a friend in Canada find out about his grandfather, but we keep hitting a brick wall.
Thomas Walbancke Graham claims to have been born on the 20th July 1860, at Ryde on the Isle of Wight. The son of Charles Edward Graham and Catherine WALBANCKE.
We have not been able to find a birth for him or a marriage for his parents. I have found that Catherine Walbancke came from Lambeth/Kennington in London, the daughter of William and Elizabeth Walbancke. She was born in 1847 in Lambeth district.
She seems to appear on the 1881 census as Catherine Graham with a son Thomas living with her, but no husband, although she claims to be married.
Please can anyone help me. Other names connected to the family are OAKE, PANNELL and GOUGH.
