Am I reading this wrong?
I have the answer as: Charles, David and Gordon Graham.

From text:

Our history begins in the long and proud reign of Queen Victoria in the small crofters village of Torphins near Aberdeen, in the north east of Scotland. Three sons were born to a local shoemaker James Graham, their names; Charles, David and Gordon. As was the norm during this time, once of age, the three left the family home for the booming industrial port of Aberdeen to seek work.
