 Hello Janet, Thank you for the photo of William's sister Elizabeth.I can see the family resemblance to the photos that I remember seeing as a child of the Fradley males.They were probably of William and his brothers,but I do recall that they looked like my grandfather,John. I will try and contact other members of the family to see if they can help and will then be back in touch.Thanks again, Joan.

I've read with great interest the information collected on this site about the Fradley family.My great grandfather was William Fradley,son of Benjamin Fradley and Ann Stanworth.He married Ellen Firkins in 1892 in Congleton ,Cheshire and they went on to have John(my grandfather),Florence, Rebecca, Ellen, Emily, Violet and William.I would be pleased to see any photos anyone has of Benjamin and Ann's children as the ones my family had and there  were many as I can recall from my childhood days were sadly destroyed.My grandfather John worked on the canal boats as a young man and
married my grandmother Harriet Wall whose father was a lockkeeper at Shelton Locks.
Regards
Joan
