Title: Census lookup BRADFORD
Post by: AdeleAngel64 on Friday 21 March 08 07:55 GMT (UK)
Would someone please look up a census record for Charles Bradford, born 1875.  He married Mary Knight and had 6 children (3 girls and 3 boys) with the last child being born approximately 1907.

Hi

Was he born in Essex, or did he move to Essex, there is a birth reg 1876 for a Charles Abram Bradford at Dunmow Essex.

No the only other information I have is that he died 24/3/1955.  Also that he had a sister Florence but no info on her at all.

Hi
Just found the death of Charles Abram Bradford in 1878, so can eliminate that one.

Charles had a daughter named Mabel, born 26/11/1900, she died 27/2/1978 if that's any help.  He also had a son named Frederick George Bradford, born 1905 I believe.

Hi

I have looked for a Charles Bradford from Essex married to a Mary, and drew a blank, also looked for a marriage for a Charles Bradford to a Mary Knight, and I carnt see one. How do you know he married a Mary knight ???

His granddaughter told me.  However I guess it's possible that he was not born in Essex.  It's the only thing I can think of.  Betty is very scetchy on most details except the date of death for a lot of the Bradford family.  Thank you so much for trying, your efforts have been really appreciated. ;D ;D

You're a legend Ricky,

Many thanks,
