Can anyone please enlighten me on the parentage of Amos Bradford born in Mansfield Registration district 1906. The town was probably Skegby.

much obliged

I found the reg # so you can send for the cert:

Jun 1906 Mansfield 7b 122

Cheers, Rian.

thanks Rian,

but I don't think that will give his mum's name will it? Pre 1912 etc.

I think his father was William

thanks for your efforts

Hi brysy,

Birth certificates will give both parent's names.

Will it give his Mum's maiden name though!

[brysy]

Hiya Again,

I've just answered my own question kind of.

I have just been informed that Amos's Birth Cert says Mum's maiden name is given as Mary Matilda Goodall, nee Hall.
Sadly I nor the kind person who gave me the information can't find any record of their marriage in the normal searches.
Equally I cannot find mention of them as a married couple in 1901. I must presume they wed after 1901.
Can anybody enlighten me please.

Thanks in Advance

So, do you also now have the Father's name too?

Sorry I am being an idiot.

Of course his father's name was William Bradford.

sorry again

I am a Family member,Amos was my grandad. There is controversy about Amos's mum.In the entry for 1911,Amos is 5 years old(born 1906), however his father William is described as a widower(but slightly crossed out). There is no mention of the woman my mum was told was her grandmother at all,but there is a mention of a "kate Johnson" described as "housekeeper" 32 years of age.I looked her up in the previous 1901 census and she was living with her parents and single at age 22.Two of the three children in 1911 are named Johnson,Mary 11,and Jane 2(she shares the same birthplace Skegby with Amos Bradford age 5). To further confuse matters,Williams father Samuel and his wife were lodgers when William was 5 with the Johnson family in Mansfield Woodhouse. Samuel Bradfords dad was called James and his mum Rebecca(from Co Durham) who were both 40 in the census year of 1871(before Williams 1976 birth) when they had ten children living with them from the age of 16 down to age 1. James's dad was William Bradford who was aged 45(wife Elizabeth age 35) in the 1841 census year.They lived in Barrowgate,Quorndon,where William worked as a framework knitter.Hope this helps,or even gets to you.
