New Social Group: Steel Bonnets

[McMurdo]

The Border Grahams were for the most part English.

That may be, however my Grahams are the Scottish variety, I'm first generation Canadian, my parents were both born in Scotland.

On reflection, my comment probably came across somewhat blunt (if not smart arsed).

My understanding is based on George MacDonald Fraser's 'The Steel Bonnets' and, IIRC, he has them orignating in Scotland but largely settling on the English side. Somewhat like the Armstrongs in reverse. In any event, a bold reiving bunch.

No problem, at all, my surname is a sept of Graham, my family went North at some point, my Dad was born in Blackburn just outside of Aberdeen my paternal grandmother was a Gunn, so some of them at least went North for noe reason or another.
