Life Events

BirthWilliam Graham was born between 1770 and 1788.
His birthdate is estimated. There were baptism records for siblings Agnes (1775), Janet (1788), and Elizabeth (1790) but not their brothers James and William. If these five were named according to age in the sasine record, James and William were likely born between 1770 and 1775. If they were named males first followed by the females, then James and William were perhaps born in the gap between Agnes and Janet. 
OccupationHe was a grocer in 1816 in Stirlingshire.1
