Research Notes: The 1921 Census shows them as 'Graham' with Agnes, Jack, and nephew James 25 (student) also in the household. There is a James H Grahame 25 listed as a student in Winnipeg as well, but he might have had two addresses. http://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.item/?app=Census1921&op=pdf&id=e002886937
