Hi i am looking for a birth for a William James Bradley born in 1915 in Sheerness, father was a Charles Henry Bradley but unsure on mothers identity. I have searched various websites but cannot seem to find a listing for William's birth. later on he was a Bombadier in the R.A and married a Joan Doreen Aylen in 1943 when he was 28 yrs old. any help to find his birth would be great, thank you!
-
Not seeing him in 1915 but there is a William J Bradley
born 1920 in the right reg. district mmn Grant.
Also a Reginald in 1918 same mother.
There's a 1915 marriage same district:
Alfred Bradley = Gladys Grant.
Wrong Alfred
**************************************************
Also Charles Bradley=Daisy Cornish 1912 Sheppey.
No children listed for them in Kent.

Could you please provide the source of your information. Is it family knowledge or have you seen genealogical records confirming these details?
Do you have William and Joan's marriage certificate? If so, what was his father's occupation? Who were the witnesses?
Do you know when and where William died? That will hopefully provide a birth date.
Queenie :)

The birth that jim1 found has a second name of John:-
BRADLEY, WILLIAM JOHN GRANT
GRO Reference: 1920 J Quarter in THANET Volume 02A Page 2322

I don't now believe he's the right one as Sheppey was the Reg. Dist. for Sheerness.

I have a copy of the marriage certificate for William James Bradley and Joan Doreen Aylen, they married on 24th November 1943 Sheerness Dockyard Church in Sheppey. William was 28, a batchelor and Bdr R.A. father named as Charles Henry Bradley (deceased).

Do you mean that this isn’t your William and Charles?
What evidence do you have that they were born or came from Sheppey?
-
Do you know what William's peacetime occupation was before joining up?
the Oxford chap appears to have married in 1948 in Merioneth, so he has moved around a bit and could be in Sheerness in he early years of the war, meeting his wife there?
Are the witnesses to the 1943 marriage any help?
