Thanks Nick....you said the "base level".....I take it that that includes all Amazon UK subscriptions ? (eg Platinum etc)

It's a great pity, because they could probably get a lot of people upgrading if they knew there was something they could Access if they changed to a Worldwide subscription. In my friend's case, she had no idea that her husband's family had French roots....she'd taken out Worldwide because it was useful for her own family

Thanks very much, Billy

Thank you very much, copperbeach

The information on the Mormon site about George Bradley's birth just gives the place & approx date (no details of parents)

Thank you again, casuiguidi. I'm not trying to be difficult or coy, (& I know you're trying to help, for which I'm grateful) but some of my family are a little reluctant about my coming onto a public message board, which is why I'm trying to keep to "Ellizabeth backwards". Elizabeth's mother's unusual first name has been passed down the family. so they fear they may be easily identified if there are more recent/geographical details etc.

The situation is this. It looks as though my gggg grandfather might have had 2 "wives" (can't find a marriage for him at all), both named Elizabeth, with children by both. It's not absolutely clear because they only appear with the name Elizabeth & his surname. We've been able to figure out who the second "wife" was from her place of birth on the census records & the fact that one of the grandchildren was given her maiden name. It may be that Elizabeth Bradley was his "first wife". If that was the case, then she ended up a long way from Kent, so if we can find her marriage or burial in Kent, then she can't be the woman concerned (if there was a first wife at all)

What suggests links to Elizabeth Bradley is that there seems to be a link to the Bradley surname, the handing on of the name "Alfrey" (Elizabeth's mother), not found in the either my gggg grandfather's or his "second" wife's family tree & the fact that there seems to be a link between my gggg grandfather's family & another family in Chatham.

There may have been a link between Robert Bradley (Elizabeth's father) & a George Bradley, a lace manufacturer, in Nottingham. (George Bradley's wife had relatives in Chatham). I started a thread on the Notts board to find out about George-The link is under the census request. The information on there (from the 1841 census) is that George was born c1763 in Notts, Brinsley, Greasley. I've been trying to find out if he had a brother named Robert, but I can't find George's birth (except on the Mormon site) & I can't find a birth for Robert, either in Notts or in Kent. And I don't want to add to that George Bradley thread now & split the subject.

Sorry if this is vague, but I don't feel that I can go against the wishes of my family especially because, if there was a "first wife" I probably wouldn't be her descendant anyway-

I just wondered if anyone could discover if Elizabeth Bradley did stay in Kent or not.

Many thanks for your help & patience
