Hi

No, we had no success in locating them, below you will see part of an email from my cousin in Ohio she is the Gt. Grandaughter of the eldest child William Graham b. 1851, he emigrated to the USA in 1880:

[Hi, Do you have access to the 1851 Census? I found something curious and it is probably nothing but you may recall that in 1861, two of the children of our Charles and Ann - William and Robert - are recorded as born in Dearham. Over time I have searched the 1851 for Charles and Ann but they seem to be non-existent. I did some creative search on Ancestry (our genealogy society has an institutional subscription) and found a Charles Simmeral age 23 b. Kirklington, and Ann age 21 b. FLIMBY in Dearham on page 638. I can find no trace of Charles Simmeral in 1841 or 1861. Is it possible that our Charles either assumed the name Simmeral or assumed the name Graham???? A little implosible but I remember your William Foulds used the name Higginbottom for a while.

In 1841, I found a Charles Graham age 15 in Arturet in the houseld of Eliz. Baty, and also a Charles Graham age 10 in St. Cuthbert in the household of a John Graham. Of course, Charles' second marriage record stated his father was William Graham but ........???]

We got no further from this, which is one of the reasons I thought I would ask for 'fresh eyes' to see if we missed anything.
