1851 North Bradley
« on: Sunday 16 January 05 12:48 GMT (UK) »

I'm looking for John Merrett born 1841 North Bradley.

I have some information which suggests that his parents were John and Ann, with siblings
Hanna 1827    Mark  1830  Ann 1833  Jane 1835  but I have no records to verify that this is true.

many thanks

Hi Sue

Many thanks for looking. John(Jnr) did marry in Melksham (and his 11 children were born there), would it be possible to check that area to see if the family moved there early in his life?

Its sometimes a worry that it seems to be a lifetime job tracing other peoples lifetimes! I met a 4th cousin once removed via the net, when I had not long started researching. He had been doing it for 15 years & tells me he will probably never get to "the end" of the task. After 2 years I feel I have just started!

Many many thanks for finding all these folks for me. They may all slot together one day.

Best wishes
