I am trying to trace the parents of Elizabeth Bradbury born c1819. She married William Hearson in Arnold, Nottinghamshire in 1837 (just prior to GRO records) so I haven't been able to obtain the marriage certificate. Does anyone have any family connections to this person? Thanks.

Hi - I have roots to Bradburys in Arnold - not sure if this person but would be great to swap notes :-*

There are several possibles on the IGI (Familysearch.Org)
+ on FreeREG;
ELIZA Bradbury, 3 Dec 1821, St Mary, Arnold to MARK/ANN
+
George St Baptist Chapel, Nottingham
ELIZTH Bradbury, 22 June 1819 to JONATHAN/MARY
ELIZA Bradbury, 3 June 1821 to CHARLES/MARY
+
ELIZA Bradbury, 24 Oct 1819, St Mary, Nottingham to WILLIAM/MARIA
+ this late Baptism;
2 May 1847, St Mary, Nottingham to THOMAS/ELIZABETH
Abode Brook St
Fathers Occp Tailor
Birth 11 February 1817****
You would need to eliminate some of these Elizas/Elizth/Elizabeth etc on the 1841 Census to see if they are still with the Parents.
Or check for Marriages with those Fathers names on F/S.Org
The 1837 Marriage is also on FreeREG unfortunately no Witnesses named.

So that suggests a dob of 1808 -- and there are no baptisms for Eliz* Bradbury in Arnold around that time. There is only one listed for the whole of the country in the period 1806 - 1810, and it's this one:
1809 11 13 Elizabeth BRADBURY father WILLIAM mother Maria NOTTINGHAM St Mary
I think you need sight of the Arnold parish register to see if an alternative parish is listed for Elizabeth, and also to see if she might have been a widow.

Oh! Just to confuse things (surely not!) here are the baptisms for William and Elizabeth, all at Arnold St Mary, William listed as a FWK
1840 05 06 Mary Ann
1842 12 11 Eliza
1845 02 06 William
1848 08 13 John
1853 07 03 Ann
This last one is after the suggested date of Burial for Elizabeth -- so either a late baptism, or that's not Elizabeth's burial ---
and indeed I can see this family, including Elizabeth, in Arnold in the 1851 census ("Heinson") and in 1861, where William has become "Walter"!, and indeed through to 1891.

Thank you all for responding. I have got most of this information and I have verified that Elizabeth was definitely born c1819 and she died in 1899. I have confirmed the census records for her and William from 1841 - 1891 in Arnold. I have found William's parents names and his siblings. I have around 9 possible baptisms for Elizabeth/Eliza but struggling to pin down which one of them is correct. If any of you want to keep in touch and exchange any info, please let me know. :D
