Bradbury Family

[rosie99]

Hi Dawn

Is the marriage of Sarah to David Davies the one in June qtr 1871    Could you please tell us where you have Sarah in prior census and in 1881 as it will help distinguish her from the others of the same name. 

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.

Are you still having problems with replying to that post as I could ask the moderators for their help

Have you ruled this one out?

Sarah Bradbury
Christening 12 Jan 1840
St. Michael's, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, England
Father's Name:   George Bradbury
Mother's Name:   Betty

They also appear to have had a son Squire bn 1846 (March qtr) bapt 1848
(There is another Squire Bradbury bn Sept qtr 1847 just to confuse    I can see this one on census with father John)

Thank you so much for your help on this everyone. I've just found details of an 1832 marriage between George Bradbury and Betty Tonge - Tonge ties into one of the census records for Sarah later in life so she could have been staying with family, perhaps after her parents passed. There is a record of a Betty Bradbury passing away in 1848 when Sarah would have only been 12 so it is possible. Thanks again!!

I'm a little unsure about Squire Bradbury. I can find a record of him but his mother is named as Martha Shoesmith. This doesn't tie in with the Betty that may be Sarah's mother.

[rosie99]

I can see transcripts giving both names for the same baptism 
Martha would make more sense as a Martha Shoesmith married a George Bradbury Dec qtr 1843.  GRO index has 2 birth registrations for a Squire mmn Shoesmith .  The other Squire that I can see elsewhere with father John might not have had his birth registered.
