Worcestershire / Re: Bradley(s) from Worcester c 1849.

Hi Liverbird

Thank you very much for posting all the info you got from your visit to Warwick Record Office.  It was very interesting and useful.  Some of the dates/details I already had but it's nice to have them confirmed!

Re the Harris's - it is confusing who's who, perhaps I'll look at them again some time in the future!

I would still like to obtain Elizabeth Blakeman's birth cert.   Was the date of 8 July 1855 in the parish records given as her date of birth or christening date?  I have never had the opportunity to search parish records so don't know what they contain.  Any more info would be greatly appreciated.  Re her sister Mary Ann Blakeman, the reason I am interested in her is that on the 1851 and 1861 Censuses her age is 2 and 12 respectively.  If this is correct it may be that she was born before Caroline and Samuel were married as I have their marriage cert with date of marriage as 15 December 1849, so if Mary Ann's age is correct she must have been born in 1849.

I do not have the year or anything relating to Charles Holmes' death, although I didn't know he was still alive in 1918, perhaps you could let me know how you know this. I  have him on the 1911 Census age 66.  I do have a very good photo of him if you would like me to post it next time, unless you already have one.  The only Elizabeth Holmes I can find died in June qtr 1909 in Toxteth Park district but nothing more.  Can't find anything on the Toxteth Cemetery records for either of them.  I have visited the Anderson/Bradley gravestone but did not have a photo.

Hope all this is not too confusing!

Best wishes

Hi Liverbird

I also have Elizabeth Blakeman's birth/christening as 8 July 1855 but can't find a birth index reference number for that year under her name.  Have you been able to obtain her birth certificate?

I was interested that you said Lucy Bradley had another daughter before she married Edron.  Is it the same Lucy Bradley as there are two one born 1794 (who I think is our Lucy) and one born 1800.  I note that the Harris family lived near the Blakeman family in Stratford Rd. Shipston in 1861 and that their daughter Mary Ann was working as a servant for the Fisher family in Liverpool in 1881 and in 1891 with her niece also called Mary Ann.  In 1871 I have a Mary Ann Blakeman servant for the Fishers after Eleanor Bradley was there in 1861- could this be Elizabeth's sister?  I have a marriage between a Mary Ann Blakeman and James Martin Nelson in 1873 in Liverpool.

Regards

Hi Liverbird

I have found some information which I think relates to the Holm ancestors, but as yet haven't been able to confirm that it is absolutely correct.  Anders Holm b. 1810 married Elsebeth Kirstine Boss b. 1816. Hans Christian was born/christened 6 Sep 1846 in Ronne Kobstad, Bornholm, Denmark.  There were 4 other children Frederikke b.1845, Andreas b.1849, Jens P. b. 1854 and Elisabet Andrie b.1857.  Elsebeth Kirstine Boss's parents were Arent Boss and Ellen Elisabeth Hansdatter Schou who were married in 1811.

I was interested to note that you had visited Shipston and Honington where the Blradley and Blakeman families lived.  I have not been able to find a birth reference for Elizabeth Blakeman or her sister Mary Ann, and do you know if Caroline born 1849 was their sister?  Any information on this would be helpful.

Best wishes

Hi Phil

Thanks for offering to share information.  I am continuing to try to track down more Bradleys, but with Lucy's maiden name being Bradley as well it could take some time!

My interest as I said is in Lucy & Edron's daughter Caroline who is my Great Great Grandmother. She married Samuel Blakeman in 1849.  Their daughter Elizabeth my Great Grandmother married Hans Christian Holm from Denmark in Liverpool in 1876.  At the time of their marriage they were both living with Eleanor & James Anderson in Liverpool and James was a witness on their marriage cert.  Before her marriage Elizabeth was living with the Andersons in Liverpool.   

I also have some more information about Lucy and Edron's other siblings which I can let you have if you you don't have it already.  It would be interesting to see the photograph of Lucy and Robert's gravestone and any information you have on the Robertson line which I can add to my family tree. 

Hope this is of interest to you.

Best wishes

Hi Phil

I have very little information about the Bradleys before Lucy and Edron.  The sketchy bits I have found out are that Edron's parents could be Daniel Bradley and Elizabeth (?) and there could be two other siblings James and Daniel.  Possibly Daniel's parents were James Bradley and Mary Durrham married 12 Oct 1757.  It really means checking/confirming parish records but this I have not done yet.  I do know that Bradley is a very common name to this day in Shipston on Stour!

As regards Lucy and Edron other children I have found are Ann, Elizabeth, possiby Catherine, Caroline (I have mentioned), William, Eleanor (your interested in) and Lucy.

Do you have anything further back than I have mentioned?

Hi Phil

I have just registered with Rootschat and was interested to hear that you want to find our more about the Bradleys from Worcester.  I too am researching this family, in particular Caroline, Eleanor Bradley's elder sister.  I have some information on Eleanor that might be of interest.  Now you have the marriage cert. you know that her father was Edron Bradley and her mother was Lucy Bradley (yes same surname).

Eleanor was born on 5 March 1839 in Shipston on Stour (I have her birth cert).  She moved to Liverpool as according to the 1861 census she was working for the Fisher family in Liverpool who were West Indian Merchants.  She went on to marry James Anderson from Denmark (as you know) and had 10 children (that I know of).  She died on 31 July 1907 and is buried in Toxteth Cemetery, Liverpool with 4 of her children Maria Catherine, George Henry, Frederick, Charles Henry and her nephew Albert.  Also her mother Lucy who died in August 1891 aged 97.

Best wishes
