Find Living Relatives

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for any living relatives of my maternal Great Grandmother, Rachel Ann Graham, who I understand was born in Hartlepool but passed away in Birkenhead, Merseyside.

Her parents were Alice Oyston Dickinson 12.12.1821 to 06.12.1891 and John Graham 1926-1911

One of her daughters was my Maternal Grandmother Florence Stewart 12.12.1893 to 24.01.1970.

I would love to get in touch with any living relatives who may still live in the Hartlepool area on the Graham side of the tree, who, could perhaps help with any information they may have in regards to this side of my family tree, photographs etc.

I received the following from a possible relative who advised.. and very kindly supplied a photograph of Rachel...

"One other thing I can remember being told is that the family used to have servants at one stage and one of Rachels sisters (think it was one of the younger ones being injured in a house fire, and a maid being either killed or badly injured). Not entirely sure of the details though"

Any help that anyone could offer would be gratefully appreciated.

Being still fairly new to this, I am probably not looking in the right places, and apologise if I have not done this correctly.

Kind regards

:-)
