Patrick Graham, 1st of Lymekilns (b 03.06.1658, a 1719, d by 1729)
Both Patrick's birth certificate and his marriage certificate (reportedly) showed no entries for his parents. This raises the possibility that he was illegitimate. He was baptised in Glasgow on 11.06.1658 so, at the least, was in the care of a 'member of the community' within days of his birth. He appears to have been well educated and worked for some years for the legal practice of John Graham, 2nd of Dougalston, who (as shown in 'Graham02') is a descendant of Robert Graham of Grougar and Auchenhowie, 8th of Knockdolian (d 1628). Possibly through that work, which took him to (East) Kilbride, he met his wife. It is thought likely, but has not been proved, that Patrick was a relation of John Graham of Dougalston and so was probably also a descendant of that Robert Graham.

Allan Graham, later Graham Barns-Graham, 3rd of Craigallian, 8th of Lymekilns, etc. (b 23.04.1835, d 29.12.1913) - continued above
As reported on the Barns1 page, Allan ("AGBG") was obliged to add Barns to his family name when (in 1875/6) he inherited the entailed estate of Kirkhill, in Ayrshire. He was Convener of the County of Lanark, "the Premier County of Scotland".

  i. Peter Charles Barns-Graham (founder & proprietor of Stirnet, 2nd son) has issue
  m. (1981) Jacqueline Patricia Owen (dau of William Thomas Owen by Patricia Elizabeth Stannard, co-director of Stirnet Limited)
  ii.+ other issue
4. John Barns-Graham (b 1877, d 03.08.1954, to New Zealand) had issue
  John, founder of the New Zealand branch of BGs, was the first person actually born with the family name of Barns-Graham (his elder brothers and sister were born 'Graham' but had their family name changed when very young) despite the fact that the marriage which eventually led to the joining of the two names (between Patrick Graham, 3rd of Lymekilns, and Margaret Urie, niece of John Barns, 4th of Kirkhill) had taken place in 1759, some 118 years before his birth. This 'delay' was because, as shown on Barns1 and Graham06, the entailed estate of Kirkhill (which carried the Barns name with it) passed to various cousins before it came to this branch.
