Hi I have just found a couple more of my Roddick line that I have been chipping away at would appreciate if anyone has local street knowledge or grave stone memorial's on Grahams I was going through all Roddicks births on Old Scottish Church records CD and noticed a Phillis Roddick which caught my eye she had a husband John Graham noted as a Phillis /Philadelphia / Philie Roddic & John Graham children ....they moved around the district a fair bit so its hard to pinpoint origins there are possibly more children its a 30 year timespan that children are born over and may only find out from gravestones .................also perhaps I am wrong about all being the same family ?? but don't think that more than one Phillis Roddick & John Graham was about Barbara Graham 16 Nov 1779 Drysedale Ann Graham 2 Mar 1783 Annan Dumfries William Graham 16 Aug 1794 Lochmaben Have not been able to find anything concrete yet on them but as My GGG Grandad had 2 of his daughters named Phillis & Euphemia Roddick they also never married lived in Dumfries both were teachers I took a punt and searched in English Census for a Phillis Graham as its an unusual name in Dumfries and found Phillis Graham in England as a FS 1841 and Nurse 1851 Phillis Graham b 1802 Troqueer Kirkudbright died age 81 1880 4 Bridge Street Dumfries (needlewoman) & Euphemia Graham b 1809 died age 80 1889 at 2 Ainslie Terrace Dumfries (Housekeeper) I got the 2 death certs which confirms daughters of John Graham a farmer & Phillis Roddick the surname for mother on Euphemias is not readable but does not look like Roddick the informant was Ann Hanna niece she could be daughter of sister Barbara ? (This sometimes happens that informant gives wrong name ) neither girls married the address on Scottish census 1881 is 4 Bridge Street Dumfries I had a look at google maps and it shows the Brig Inn which is no 5 ( according to a web search) and opposite a row of cottages only one has number on it no 3 the cottage that could be no 4 ( the numbers don't seem to work as ours do odds one side and evens the other ) is the one in the middle and interestingly is named REDDICK COTTAGE it looks as if this is actually Brydekirk from street signs and not Dumfries township so am I wrong in thinking this is the Bridge Street Dumfries? FHL Film 0224047 GRO Ref Volume 821 EnumDist 5 Page 22 1871 Census they were both living together at 72 English Street Dumfries noted as Dressmakers I have not found Euphemia prior to 1871 I can find nothing in Memorials of St Michaels, no wills ,no Kirk sessions there are so many John and William Grahams I am hoping that maybe someone will recognise the names above I have added as much as poss on them as may be useful to someone else regards lesley in Tasmania
