Sept 1909 at Rouse's Pt. New York Delle N. Bradley, 17, single, domestic, last residence Montreal crossed the border bound for her brother-in-law's. Frank Anfossi of 245 W 35th St. New York, N.Y.. Mother in England given as Robina Bradley 24 Hughes St. Liverpool. She was 4'7", fair complexion and blue eyes b. Liverpool and emigrated June 1901 on the Tunisian.

So does that mean that the parents Robina and Joseph were still alive when they emigrated?

I found John's birth. That poor kid probbaly had an identity crisis! Born as Jean, censused as John and died as Giovanni! I found Joseph Jean Arthur Anfossi, born on Nov 22, 1910 to Francois Anfossi and Elizabeth Bradley and baptized Nov 27. The godparents are there, but they do not share a last name - Aurthur Geoffroise?  and his wife, Marce Paquette??? They might be a cousin of Franks or they might just be friends. He was baptized at Notre Dame.
I wonder, we were told that Elizabeth used to work as a domestic at a lawyer named Geoffrion (I have no other detail). Maybe that's him? Apparently Frank and her met in his office

Actually Elizabeth crossed into the US in Sep 1907 as Bradley. 21, domestic, mother Ruby Bradley 24 Raffles Liverpool. bound for New York, friend Mrs. ______ . In 1907 when Francesco had crossed over his record did say single as well. Perhaps the couple married in New York? Frank's 1907 crossing also indicated he entered via Portland, 4/07 on the Dominion.

From this site you can play around and find births, marriages and deaths. Sometimes you have to use wild cards to find the different spellings names can be found under.
On the 1901 British census Joseph Bradley, 17, b. Liverpool is a billard marker in Birkenhead Cheshire working for John and Louisa Powell - owners of a pub.
Perhaps the Joseph Bradley on the 1910 US census in Lawrence Ward 6, Essex, Masschussetts, born 1884 England, emmigration year 1902, working as a patternmaker in a worsted mill is yours.

The 1881 and 1891 British census show a birth of Liverpool for Joseph. Don't know where he is on the 1871. A quick look at the 1861 show 2 possibilities. Parents Miche and Elizabeth are from Sligo Ireland but Thomas and Mary Ann are from Liverpool and Ireland respectively. If you got Joseph's marriage certificate it would allow you to go back another generation as you would have his father's name.
There is a death for a Joseph Bradley that fits your timeframe. At 48 Sept 1902 Lancaster 8e 417
I didn't find Robina on the 1901 census but from the border crossing entries it would appear that she was living.

There is a marriage Sep 1880 West Derby 8b 918 for Joseph Bradley and Robina Wheler
Birth for Robina Gray Wheeler Mar 1860 West Derby 8b 293
On the 1871 British census in Liverpool there is Robina Wheeler, 12 b. Liverpool living with sister Annie, 17, b. Liverpool, bookkeeper and her married mother Elizabeth Wheeler, 45, born Edinborough Scotland. Father not present.
The 1881 census is slightly confusing. It shows a number of people living at 103 Park St. South Toxteth Liverpool
Robina and her husband Joseph, 22. b. Liverpool, Biscuit maker (baker) are shown related to Thomas and Miriam Baker or Barker both born North Wales. Joseph is shown as his son-in-law and yet directly below Robina is Margaret Walsh and then 54 year old Elizabeth Wheler born in Edinborough with her widowed actress daughter Elizabeth Ann L'estrange and Elizabeth's daughter. It might seem that the relationships were misinterpreted?
Debbie
Hi Debbie
thanks for your help - I think I've got the bug too, I am starting to take that research very seriously LOL.
Not sure I understand the situation you mentioned. Robina and Joseph are living with Thomas and Miriam Baker (Barker). Joseph is Thomas's son in law? and Elizabeth Wheeler (Robina's mother) has a daughter Elizabeth Ann L'estrange (widowed) who has a daugther (Robina's niece)? I admit I am a bit lost  If you could help with this I would be grateful

OK, that means Frank and Elizabeth must have married after Sep 07 and before Sep 08, either in NY or in Montreal. I would say the latter, but I must try to find that out. Then they returned to NY in Sep 1908, until_____? - Ruby went to NY in Dec, maybe she joined them there? But where was Joseph? Maybe already there and Nellie joined him in 1909? But would the girls not mention their brother when crossing the border? and the 1910 US census would have shown him with Frank, Elizabeth (then expecting John) and Nellie in NY
About the mother, Robina, in England, yes, the various addresses in Liverpool given by the girls seem to suggest that they stayed in touch somehow... Hmm. I wonder...

thanks for helping me out with this search, as soon as I can I will get a subscription to either FMP or Ancestry  In the meantime, I managed to find out more about Arthur Geoffrion and last weekend I met with his grand-niece (80), who has published his autobiography (in French only). She could not trace Elizabeth yet, but the info fits and also in 1907 he was appointed immigration legal counsel so that would perhaps explain why Frank got to be in his office at one point if he immigrated in 1906.
Anyway, it's just great to be able to give "life" to people like that :-) By the way, "journalier" means a type of worker who takes jobs when he can and where he can - maybe it's the translation of "labourer"?

Hello
Looks like Robina remarried. There is a marriage for a Robina Bradley December 1902 quarter volume 8b, page 109, Liverpool District. Possible spouse would be James Scott Knight or Evan Thomas.

The ship you were asking about arrived Boston 24 Oct 1923 with 37 year old Joseph and 35 year old Gertrude. Joseph was a pattern maker born in Bradford and gave a brother - L. Bradley 26 Orchard St. Bradford as his British contact. Going to Providence Rhode Island. They were going to his brother-in-law's, J. Jordan 287 Swan Street Providence Rhode Island. This is probably the same Joseph Bradley, pattern-maker who appeared as a boarder in Lawrence Ward, Essex Mass. on the 1910 census. He filled in a 1917 draft registration card as Joe Bradley showing a birth in Bradford North Yorkshire and a date of birth of 4 March 1890. There was also a Joseph Bradley who arrived in New York in 1907 on the Baltic. He was shown born in Bradford and had been employed as a model--maker. It seems as though you could cross him off.
I tried to find a Joseph Bradley linked with Lavinia as that would agree with the record that J.J. found previously (attestation papers from WWI). Not successful.
In 1930 there is in Valhalla Village, Westchester New York working as a handyman at the Blythdale Home Joseph Bradley 40, born England with both parents born England. Immigration year 1905. His wife is Lillian, a nurse at the home, also 40 b. England. Immigration year 1923. They were 38 when they married - a first marriage for each.
