Where are my BAMFORD's in NSW Australia?
« on: Tuesday 20 March 07 11:10 GMT (UK) »
I am finding it very difficult to find any one related to my Bamfords
James Bamford born 1822 Liverpool Lancashire came to Australia.
When he arrived is still unknown to me
He married Jane Gibson (nee Eastcott) widow 6/3/1854 St Laurence Sydney
children born were
Ellen 1855, Louisa 1858 Chippendale, George 1860 Chippendale, Jane Eastcott 1862 Chippendale and Henry 1865 Redfern.

I am also looking for George Bamford b1860 married Frances Louisa (nee Hill)
1889 Redfern
children born were
George 1890 Redfern, May E 1891 Waterloo, Doris M 1894 Waterloo (my grandmother), Percie 1897 Waterloo, Lucy M 1898 Waterloo, Millicent B 1901 Waterloo, Archibald 1902 Waterloo and Edward 1904 Waterloo.
BOTH JAMES & son GEORGE were boot/shoe makers.
If anyone has any links to this family, I would be very pleased to hear from you.

Your Great uncle George Bamford b. 1890,stated as Next of Kin his father George when he enlisted in1915..
His attestation paper shows he was also in the boot trade.
It also gives the home address of his father George at that time.

Don't know if this is of interest to you.

Hi Jan

My Dad, EDWARD BAMFORD, Bn. 17NOV1925 is almost certainly a cousin of yours. I am typing this for hiom, as he is not familiar with a keyboard.

If you are MILTON's daughter, then it is confirmed.  He would love to chat, especially with a view to fimnding more about a pssible link to SAMUEL BAMFORD. Perhaps your digging might save us heaps of time!

He lives in CANBERRA, having moved from SYDNEY in about 1946.

Cheers

Hi,

In April 1843 there were unclaimed letters being held at the Sydney GPO for a James Bamford!
