Answer 2

Some quick gleanings from the UK Census records and Birth and Death indexes of England and Wales.

Sir Gerald Graham m. 1862 St George's, Hanover Sq., London, Jane Dinah Blacker (b. c 1831 All Saints, Suffolk);

(1) Gerald Oakeley Graham; b. [Jan-Feb-Mar] 1863 Brighton.

(2) Jane G Graham; b. c 1865 Brighton

(3) Francis G Graham; b. [Apr-May-Jun] 1866 Aldershot. He's listed as a lodger at 98 Hereford Rd., Paddington, London in the 1901 Census. The census is hard to read but he seems to have been an engineer of sorts.

(4) Maxwell H Graham; b. c 1870 Chatham.

(5) Walter B Graham; b. c 1873 Yorkshire. A boarder at 210 Prospect Lane, Birkenshaw, Yorks in the 1901 Census. He was a priest in the Church of England at this time.

(6) Olive M Graham; b. c 1876 Yorkshire.

Hope this of some help.
