Bradbury Family

[dawnhooper123]

Hi. I am looking for any further information anyone can help me with in a branch of my family tree. My Great-great-great grandmother was Sarah Bradbury, born 1836 in Ashton-under-lyne. On the 1851 census she is listed as living at Grosvenor Street, Dukinfield, Ashton-under-lyne as a neice of Alfred and Ann Birck/Birch with who I think could be her sister Ann (born 1833). I cannot find any record of Sarah on the 1841 census so I'm struggling to get any further back in her branch of the family. I've found lots of information about what happened to her in her life after 1851 but nothing before. Any help or guidance would be massively appreciated. Thanks in advance. Dawn

Hi

Can't see a sister Ann though.

Did Sarah marry if so who did she name as her father on the marriage

It states on the 1851 Census both Sarah & Ann were born Stalybridge, what does it say on the later census?

I see you have had another post for Harriet Ann Bradbury where there have been suggestions as to her background - possibly illegitimate dtr of Sarah is that the same person.

There is a Bradbury Family on the 1841 Census living at The Parsonage, Longsite, Manchester the ages for Sarah & Ann fit so is a possible.

Ann          "               35
John                          11
Ann                             8

rosie 99 - Hi, yes this is the same Sarah Bradbury. I've had some technical issues with this site and have had trouble replying to messages. Sarah did marry a David Davies. Their marriage certificate states her father was a George Bradbury who was a spinner.

Ellenmai - later census records show birthplace as Ashton but the boundaries between Ashton, Dukinfield and Stalybridge seem to shift frequently in past years so it could reasonably be any of those.

Thanks you to everyone for your help

heatherjulie - I had seen that record but initially ruled it out as the birth and christening years were 4 years apart but I think it may be worth some further exploration. Thank you for reminding me of it
