Charles Graham

Charles Graham was born in Longtown and served as a police constable in Liverpool for many years. He served in the police force at HM Gretna during the war, and afterwards married a Gretna Girl, Annie Armstrong.

In 1891, Charles is working as a domestic servant, but by 1901, he has become police constable 338A in the Liverpool City Police. He is living in a house at Albany Road with two other constables, both from Scotland. In 1909, Charles is commended for his actions in stopping a runaway horse. He may have been injured in the incident, but on the 1911 census he is still a police constable in Liverpool, living in digs at Connaught Road.

Charles apparently served at HM Gretna in their Police Force and may have lived at Browhouses. While there he met a Dornock-born-and-bred Gretna Girl, Annie Armstrong, and they married in 1918 in Dornock.

After the war, Charles and Annie lived in Eastrigg. Charles worked as a labourer. At the time of his death in December 1940, age 66, they were living at Dunedin Road. Charles is buried in Dornock Cemetery.
