Full name |
Thomas Graham |
|
Born |
12 March 1905 in Medomsley, near Consett, County Durham [registered in
Lanchester, Durham, June 1905]. Birthdate confirmed by his
death registration. |
|
Birth/census notes |
There
was a confusion here, there were two dates given by Lamming as a date of
birth. The other being 5 March 1907. The fact is, there was a Thomas
Graham registered in each of the three years in June 1905, June 1906 and
June 1907.
Only the 1911 census return could confirm the correct Thomas
Graham. Being the only one in Hamsterley Colliery, but stated as
being born in Medomsley. The birthdate is stated on his
death registration. |
|

census, the six year-old Thomas is the fifth of eight children to his
