Bradford marriage

[Braddy]

Hi - can anyone help please I am looking for info on the marriage of a William Bradford to a Mary - William was born about 1805 to John Bradford and Sarah (nee Squire) and the marriage of William / Mary would be about 1825 to 1830. Mary's surname would be brill and also any info at all.
Thank you,
John Bradford

If you try family search there are 3 William Bradford marriages to a Mary between 1820 to 1824, then 3 more 1831 to 1839. All in Devon.

If they has a Child born post Sept 1837 the Childs Birth Cert will confirm Marys maiden name.

1841 Census Ref. No.   HO107/261/17/Folio 3/Page7 Devon Rackley, West Worlington            
Address               
Name   Relationship   Status   Age   Occupation   Born Same County
Samual Gunny         65   Farmer   Yes
Samual Gunny         30   Farmer   Yes
Mary Gunny         30   Mistress   Yes
Mary Gunny         5   M L (man/manual lab)   Yes
Mary Norrish         35   FS   Yes
Richard Tolley         20   MS   Yes
William Gess         15   M L (male/manual lab)   Yes
William Bradford         10   M L (male/manual lab)   Yes



I am descended from a William Bradford born 1831 Cadeleigh Devon. I think this is him with the Gunny family in 1841 and I think the Bradford family above - also in the 1841 census are his family - but I could do with evidence.

I think as Trish suggested the easiest way to check Mary's maiden name would be to get Edwards Birth Cert. He was probably registered in Crediton, Q2/1838, vol 10 page 84. The only other Bradford child registered around that time was also Crediton in 1837 but unnamed.

From all that you have said the best marriage I can come up with is William Bradford to Mary Rowe 13 April 1829, Kings Nympton, Devon but as I mentioned before there were other possibles.

From memory Mary was born Kings Nympton on the 1851 Census
Will check tomorrow as signing out now.
