Linda,
I have already posted a possible death for father Hugh (see 23:38 posting)

Deaths Mar 1886 (>99%)

Also 1881 census shows he was born in 1856, Durham:-

Name: Hugh Grayham
Age: 25
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1856
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Jane Ann Grayham
Gender: Male
Where born: Durham, England

can anyone find the farther of hugh 1881 ,
he seems to have passed away aroung 1885/6, what happend to him, who was he when was he born who were his family :-)

Looks as though Hugh and Jane may not have married until1885?
