It does now seem that my William Graham moved from Borth to the IOM to work in one of the mines in the 1820's.

William married Eleanor Clague in 1827 at Malew and they had a son John the same year. I wonder why they had moved back across by 1830? They had there remaining seven children at St Bees. Perhaps it just didn't work out for him.

The next time I visit the island I will have to see if there are any employee records from between 1827 and 1830 for the various mines. It would be great for me if William Graham's emloyment record still exists. Can anyone suggest where I might need to look please?
