Notes
- He was baptised John, but added Graham to his name when he arrived in London. His maternal grandmother was Jane Graham. As John Graham Lough, he was a Sculptor of some renown, and among his work, is the Memorial to George Stephenson, inaugurated in 1862, still to be seen on its original site, near to the Central Station in Newcastle, also the Collingwood Monument at Tynemouth, Admiral Lord Collingwood, looking out to sea, over the mouth of the River Tyne. While we had the family groups, from our research, as John's sister, Jane Lough, was June's 3rd great-grandmother, dates related to the family, have been confirmed or obtained from a book by John Lough & Elizabeth Merson nee Lough, titled "John Graham Lough, 1798-1876, A Northern Sculptor".
