Len, as usual, you have surpassed all expectations and provided me with an
absolute goldmine of information.
Finding out anything more on Haman/Hammond GRAHAM is not proving easy at all.
I've recently (as I'd already done some years ago) searched TNA Records with no
results at all. I've now written to the West Sussex Records Office (which
holds records for the 35th Regiment) and asked on a British Military email list
-- hope at least one of them bears fruit.
So I then turned to the CARNWATHs and have started working through the material
on the CTI website, commencing with the Leckpatrick Presbyterian Marriages.
I've also found some possible links in the 1901/1911 censuses. That, and your
additional references, will keep me busy for several weeks!
Thank you again, Len -- you provide a wonderful service for County Tyrone
researchers.

According to an old map Leckpatrick Old Burial Ground, Artigarvan surveyed in
the 1870s there are two burial places for Carnwaths of Stonypath (not to be
confused with the graveyard attached to Leckpatrick Presbyterian Church) and
one headstone for the family of Collermoney: names recorded are *MARY* (1879)
infant son *WILLIAM* (1870) infant dau *MARY* (1872) son *JOSEPH WRAY* (1880)
dau *ANNIE MARY* (1897) *ELIZABETH JANE* (1905) *JOHN* (husband to the above
1957) *SARAH* (1960) This is a very old graveyard dating from pre-Reformation
times and would contain many generations of Carnwaths.
Prior to 1834 (the year of the erection of Leckpatrick as a new congregation)
Presbyterian families would have worshipped in the churches at Donagheady
(First and Second) or Strabane (First and Second), hence the various churches
with useful records.
The majority of the above references were extracted from submissions to CTI
https://cotyroneireland.com/ by Faye Logue and yours truly. We have been
researching and submitting data and files re. Leckpatrick and Donagheady
families for in excess of thirty years.
Regarding the Grahams, I recall sending you information previously re. the
Sigerson family who operated a spade foundry in Artigarvan where Robert
Carnwath (occupation foundryman) the bride’s father, found employment. Also, to
ascertain the origins of the Graham family it will be necessary to search for
the enlistment papers for Haman Graham in the records of the 35th Regiment.
Hope the above is useful for your impending visit to beautiful North Tyrone and
regards,

*Subject: *[CoTyroneMailingList] Hammond (or Haman) & Nancy GRAHAM
I'm keen to find out more about my gg grandparents and any other descendants,
especially as I'll be visiting County Tyrone later this year.
My g grandparents, William GRAHAM and Sarah CARNWATH were married on 15 Feb
1855 in the Presbyterian Church, Artigarvan, Parish of Leckpatrick (near
Strabane) and migrated to Australia a few months later. They were married by
Rev. Moses CHAMBERS and the witnesses were James SIGERSON and John CUNNINGHAM.
William's parents were Haman (or Hammond?) GRAHAM [Pay Master Sergeant, 35th
Regiment, British Army] and Nancy GRAHAM (maiden name unknown).
After a long break working on other family branches, I'd now like to find out
more about Hammond and Nancy, but my efforts over the last few days have borne
little fruit.
Does anyone have links to this couple or can anyone suggest avenues of further
research that might bear fruit? Grateful for any suggestions.
Lindsay Graham
Canberra, Australia
