Hi Skoosh

There were lots of pits, furnaces, ironworks etc. in this area of Shropshire in the 19th century so it seems quite plausible that some people might have migrated to other parts of the UK when the industry began to decline. I don't know if any of my family did so, but if you have some names I might be able to check whether they tally with my family.
Title: Re: BRADBURN
Post by: Skoosh on Wednesday 12 September 12 15:33 BST (UK)
In Glasgow in 1871, earlier than I thought, Brian. This is them in 1881,
15 River street, Dennistoun, Glasgow.
Thomas Bradburn 47, blacksmith, b. England.
Matilda Bradburn 39,                          "
William G Bradburn 12,                 b. Glasgow.
Mary K 10,                                          "
Thomas  5                                           "
Matilda   3                                           "

Pretty sure this is the right Bradburn's, an uncommon name here.  By 1891 they are in 40 James Orr Street, Townhead, Glasgow. One of them married my gt aunt who was at No' 34, b. Dudley, father a Forbes, a glassblower, her mother an Edmunds, Staffs.
Maybe they got together of an evening to discuss the cricket scores?

These aren't my direct ancestors, and I haven't been able to find these names, but there were a LOT of Bradburns in this area of Shropshire at that time. A few years ago I tried to construct a complete family tree of them but gave up because there were so many. My gg grandfather, Joseph Bradburn, b. 1840, was a blacksmith, as was his father, Isaac, b. 1795 (as late as the 1871 census his occupation was still given as blacksmith) so it was in the family.

Post by: brianthecow on Thursday 13 September 12 17:59 BST (UK)
Unfortunately my Joseph Bradburn did not marry your great aunt Phoebe, and he remained in Shropshire his whole life. But as I say, it's quite possible that members of that extended family moved to Glasgow and elsewhere.

Thomas Bradburn was my 3 x great grandfather. I have found his death record from April 1910 which states his father's name and it looks like Isaac (it's quite hard to read). I don't suppose you have any further information on Thomas or his father?

Thanks! I don't suppose you know whereabouts in England Thomas Bradburn was born? Looking through the thread it seems it could be Shropshire. I have found birth records for Thomas Bradburns in Chester and Manchester from around that period, but nothing else.

BTW, my mother's middle name was Matilda which was obviously carried on from Matilda Bradburn, and my grandmother's middle name was Bradburn.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilleshall

The Leveson-Gower Dukes of Sutherland became one of the richest families in the United Kingdom partly as a result of this industrial development and in the late nineteenth century built a new residence, Lilleshall Hall which lies at the heart of the estate a mile from the village. The Sutherland estate was sold off between 1915 and 1917 and the hall eventually passed into state ownership as a sporting facility. It is now the Lilleshall Hall National Sports Centre,[2] once the site of the Football Association youth academy, and now the home of British gymnastics and archery. Lilleshall Hall Golf Club is also in the grounds of Lilleshall Hall.

This thread was revived by Stuart earlier today. Skoosh and Stuart are interested in a different line, I think, but I'm sure Skoosh will find the link to the Leverson Gowers very interesting  :)

Thanks for that input guys, no doubt there's a connection somewhere? Gadget there's also a Leveson-Gower, aka the Earl of Granville, who owns much of North Uist & claims to be a crofter. A bit ironic! There's also a connection to Jenners department store in Edinburgh.

The young Queen Victoria visited the Sutherlands at their London house (Stafford House?) and exclaimed that she came from her house to their palace!

Hi again Stuart  :)

I've been doing a bit more investigating and have gathered this info - some of which you might have or has been given on this thread. It does seem to prove that the Glasgow Thomas was the Dawley Thomas:

I'm wondering if the 1825 Thomas died and they had another Thomas b.c 1831.  However, his age varies throughout and his death cert gives an age that fits a 1825 birth.

1841
Dawley Magna
Isaac, 50, Blacksmith
Catharine, 45
Isaac, 20, carpenter
William, 15
Charles, 12
Thomas, 10
John, 8
Richard, 6
George 5
all born Shropshire

Marriage
20 Oct 1846 Dawley Parva
Thomas Bradburn (blacksmith) and Christian Burgwyn. Both of full age.
Father - Isaac, smith
One of the witneses was William Bradburn

1861
Frame Lane, Dawley
Thomas Bradburn, widower, 33, blacksmith, b. Dawley
Fanny, daughter, 16
Isaac, son, 13
John H, 11
All b. Dawley

Thomas marries Matilda Gillespie 1868, Barrhead (from child's birth cert)

1891
James Or Street, Dennistoun
Thomas, widower, 60, Blacksmith, b.England
William, s, 21, grocer
Thomas, s, 14, fleshers app
Matilda, d, 12, scholar
Children b. Lanarkshire

Death 17 April 1910, Barrhead
Thomas Bradburn, Blacksmith( Journeyman). Aged 85.
Widower of 1. Christian Burguin 2. Matilda Gillespie
Parents - Isaac Bradburn, Blacksmith and ? Bradburn MS ? Both deceased.
Cause - Senile decay
Informant - John Bradburn, son

Nice work Gadget,  :-*  Dawley appears to be what's now Telford, an industrial area, so Thomas the blacksmith was maybe not working as a farrier. Where he lived in the Townhead, Glasgow was within easy walking distance of the various Springburn locomotive works, all of which had blacksmiths shops. Folk in Glasgow tended to live near their work so the Blochairn steel-works & Arrol's who built the Forth Bridge are other possibilities?

The New Town in the East Shropshire Coalfield was originally called Dawley. The name was changed in 1968 to Telford when the New Town was expanded to include places like Wellington north of the A5.

The East Shropshire Coalfield was the "birthplace of the Industrial Revolution" and includes  Coalbrookdale and Ironbridge. As other industrial areas grew East Shropshire went into decline and so not surprisingly there was considerable population movement from the area in  search of work in other coal mining and metal working areas.

I know the area fairly well as I grew up not all that far away in the Welsh borders.

Many of my father's lines came from that area - moving between there, the Staffordshire coalfields and the Denbighshire coalfields - some were pit sinkers. Dad often talked about these ancestors. Later, some of the family moved to the Lancashire, Yorkshire and Durham coalfields.

Happy New Year Bradburn hunters!
Here's a very rough partial family tree that I constructed about 10 years ago when I was trying to get to grips with the sheer numbers of Bradburns in this part of Shropshire. I gave up eventually when my brain couldn't take any more. I knew I had it tucked away somewhere and managed to find it this morning. I'm descended from Joseph Bradburn and Emma Horton and their daughter Emma.
