Hi all,
I hope you all had a fab summer, I've been back for 4 days and I'm once again confused......
Ok I have this Bradley family in Huddersfield. I've found them on the census' (I think) but there are a couple of things which I can't get straight in my head......please help!
Ok here goes.... (the Wm in bold is the one i'm interested in)
1841 census.
Francis Bradley, head, 40, sadler
Susannah, wife, 35
William, son, 15, sadler
Mary Ann, dau, 15
Martha, dau, 12
Thomas Smith, son, 9
John, son, 6
Emma, dau, 2
Mary Schofield, 70
Jane Bradley, 20
Ellen Bradley, 25
Joseph Bradley 30
(I have no idea where the bottom 4 come from......)
1851 census Union Street
William Bradley, head, 28, sadler, born Hudds
Elizabeth Bradley, wife, 22, born Leeds
Fred Bradley, son, 2 months, born Hudds.
1861 Census Bay Hall, Fartown
William Bradley, head, 39, Sadler, born Hudds
Elizabeth, wife, 33, born Leeds
Fred, son, 10, scholar, born Hudds
Albert, son, 6, scholar, born Hudds
Harry, son, 4, scholar, born Hudds
William, son, 2, scholar, born Hudds
Joe, son, 1, born Hudds
Charley, son, 1, born Hudds
Martha Shaw, visitor, 32, born Hudds
Sarah Ann Parker, servant, 11, nurse, born Hudds
1871 Census
Elizabeth Bradley, wife 44, born Leeds
Albert, son, 16
Harry, son, 14
William, son 12
Charles, son, 11
Where is William??
After that I have no more census info on Willam and Elizabeth becasuse I have moved onto their son William.
Anyway the other day I emailed Huddersfield Reg Office saying that I had a birth record for Charles and Joe, would it be possible to cross reference their parents and find the ref for William's birth so I could order that and find out his mother's (Elizabeth) maiden name. They were wonderful and sent me the reference for William's birth and Elizabeth and William's marriage.
Today I recieved the marriage certificate which has thrown me slightly......
William Hall Bradley married Elizabeth Brook on Jan 2nd 1848. He was 24 and she 20. Wm was a sadler, both were residing at Coln Bridge, Heaton. The census says that Elizabeth was from Leeds, do I assume that this is still the correct marriage cert/census info but she moved to Coln Bridge at some pint before her wedding?
William's father is Francis Bradley, occ Sadler.
Basically I just want to know if the census is for the right people and the same people as the marriage certificate and where does the middle name Hall come from? I would maybe assume that Hall could be William's mothers maiden name but I think she was Susannah Smith as I have found a marriage for Francis Bradley and Susannah Smith on IGI and another of their son's (Thomas) has Smith as a middle name....
I hope that makes sense!
Thank you in anticipation
