Hello,
I am looking for information and Decendents of Elizabeth BRADLEY who married Thomas BOWDLER in Decenber 1847 in Stourbridge England. They then emigrated to Queensland with their children in 1862.
I have some information about their family in Australia but I am looking for their relations and information about the family before they emigrated?
Regards.

Hi Terry,
What does her marriage cert say about her father? :)
-
Do you have any dates of birth?
Names of children?
Any other clues to help in a search?
-
I'm guessing it's the couple at HO107/2036 13 19 in Kingswinford in 1851, Elizabeth born ca. 1826 Kingswinford. Very popular name unfortunately - the IGI has a number of possible christenings. :(
-
That leads us to this possible family in 1841:
HO107/928/3/19/30
Back of Church Street, Broseley, Wenlock, Shropshire
BRADLEY, Richard M 45
BRADLEY, Ann F 45
BRADLEY, Elizth F 15
BRADLEY, John M 14
BRADLEY, Mary F 10
BRADLEY, Richd M 8
BRADLEY, George M 6
All born in county.
But there are other possibilities!

Alternatively
1841
HO107/996/7 28 13
Kingswinford, Staffordshire
Common Side
Noad Bradley, 35, Lab
William, 15
Ann, 15
Noah, 10
Elizabeth, 10
Claressia, 5
/
Sarah Crockett, 50
Thomas Crockett, 20
All born in county
Come to think of it, 10 is a little young, isn't it?
Her christening was 12 Oct 1828 Kingswinford, so indeed she would have been 12. 'Our' Elizabeth was 25 in 1851, 34 in 1861.
-
Just a bit young!
I was looking for 14-15 year old Elizabeths - also allowing for the irksome habit of rounding down ages in 1841.
All the ones I can find seem to be a good few miles away from Kingswinford, though.
-
Noah was christened January 1827 and he's down as 10 as well - I think the enumerator misunderstood the instructions ...
Anyway Terry, I think you need the 1847 marriage cert :-\

Hello Tati.
Her fathers name was Thomas and her mother Phoebe Robotham.
They married in Kingswinford in 1824.
I have Elizabeth and Thomas Bowdler marriage cert of 1847.
I dont know if she had any brothers or sisters.
I hope so.

You should have said! ;)
The IGI finds 2 other Bradley children christened to Thomas and Phoebe at Kingswinford:
John, 9 Jan 1831
Joseph, 8 Jun 1828

Thanks Tati
I will see if i can find more about them.

They're not easy to spot on any census, are they? :-\

I found john, joseph and elizabeth on the IGI after your information.
She was born 1825.
the family should be on a census. they were in Kingswinford.
thanks,
terryt
