Do you have a copy of the 1907 marriage cert to confirm that Florence's father was Archibald?  Just to confirm she was b 1877 & not in the 1880's
I knew they married in 1907 but must have missed this - thats great! I bet having the wrong birth year is whats been causing all the confusion. Thank you so much again.

A tree on Ancestry has an interesting newspaper report about Florence applying successfully for a separation order - Retford & Worksop Herald 1908 which was only a year after they married. 

It also has a cutting detailing the 1925 incident

This is my tree  ;D
I added a lot of articles last night. I searched Thomas Bradley in Retford, marine dealer of Moorgate and there was a treasure trove!

There's another daugher listed on 1921 - took me a while to find a birth reg as it's distinctly messed up on Ancestry (to be fair the typescript on the image is quite thick)

Name    Mena Bradley  (actually Mona)
Q2  1916
Mother's Maiden Name    Dumeansen  (image is Duncanson)
East Retford Vol 7b p8

Thank you Mabel - I did come across her somewhere and then lost her again! So this is great!

Per www.freebmd.org.uk Florence Jane Duncanson was b 1877 & her mothers maiden name was Carlisle. 
Fabulous, thank you! Several people have said she is born in 1877 - I wonder why she is listed as being 29 on the 1911 census. I know sometimes they are a year out but this is several years!

Nottinghamshire / Bradley / Duncanson - Brick Wall
« on: Wednesday 08 January 25 20:47 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching the Bradley family of Retford, of which there are thousands.
Currently I am looking into my GG grand-uncle - Thomas Bradley (22 Dec 1884 - 27 Jun 1949) in East Retford, Nottinghamshire, and his wife, until divorced, Florence Jane Bradley nee Duncanson (b. abt 1882 - ?)
I would like to find anything about how Thomas Died, and also, any death date for Florence Jane and a more accurate birth date. Even better would be her parents info...
The 1911 census says she was born in South London, and I found that they married in 1907 in Retford.
I did see a Florence Bradley who was born abt. 1882 and died 1959 in Retford but I am sure somewhere I found that this Florence married a Joseph Bradley and lived in Cottam, a village near Retford. Could she have re-married? Certainly but I can't nail it down!
He was quite a bad man; always in the papers with anything from selling questionable meat to beating his wife. There was also an article about Florence Jane in 1925 and how she came to his property and smashed some windows.
They had daughters - Doris, Ivy, Lily and Violet; maybe more?
Ample info in the papers about Thomas' antics, just nothing about his death. Which is unusual around these parts.
Thomas is son of John and Sarah; I have the 1871, (possible) 1891, 1911, 1921 census. And the 1939 record where he lives with his niece (don't get me started on that)
Any help, greatly appreciated!

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Bradshaw or Hatton?!

Thank you for all of this - it does seem to be Bradshaw then doesn't it. I can't get my head around the Sarah Hatton marriage 2 years later then - Hatton who had a son with a William Bott and called the son Hatton Bott - I wonder if there were just two William Botts in the same place at the same time, marrying two Sarahs?

Family History Beginners Board / Bradshaw or Hatton?!
« on: Saturday 30 March 24 16:27 GMT (UK)  »
I appear to have majorly confused myself - which isn't difficult.

So I am looking for the wife of William Bott - 1911 - abt 1983 born in Packington, Leicestershire, probably died there too.
I believe he is the father of Joseph Ayre Bott - 1859 - 1946 born and died in Packington - Joseph is my great, great grandfather.

I have found Sarah Hatton and Sarah Bradshaw, both born abt 1816, however, I started my Ancestry tree some time ago and back then I was just adding people from other's trees (I have learned not to) and its gotten so messy with this group here.
There is a record for a William Bott in Ashby de la Zouch marrying Bradshaw in 1838 and the same name marrying Hatton in 1840 - is anyone able to clarify if anything I have here is correct?

Family History Beginners Board / Re: William Tinkler 1876 - 1946 Asylum Death
« on: Monday 06 February 23 18:10 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you, all

There is a man of this name in the Durham County Mental Hospital, Winterton, on the 1939 register. I'm thinking that's where you got it from?

Queenie  :)

Queenie, where did you manage to find this?!

Family History Beginners Board / William Tinkler 1876 - 1946 Asylum Death
« on: Sunday 05 February 23 18:34 GMT (UK)  »
I'm wondering if anyone can help me find where I found something out in the first place, or anything to back it up

I have listed my 3rd Great Grand Uncle William Tinkler (1876 - 1946) as dying at Durham County Lunatic Asylum, Winterton by Ferryhill, Durham, England

I've no idea where I got that info from - there's no document attached about it and I can't find anything to prove it, however, I know I can't have pulled it out of thin air

Info that might help - son of another William Tinkler (1837 - 1897) and Sarah Anderson (1835 - 1916)
He was born in W Pelton, Durham, England
Possibly married a Mary Strain but haven't managed to verify that yet

Thank you for any help!
