Bradbury family

[debbiclapham]

Hello,

 I am looking for any information about William Bradbury, born approx 1835, Kingston area. Married / lived with Bessie Dunn (b1841 Padstow) in Croydon in 1901. Had sons James & Thomas, Bessie had children from previous marriage to Henry Brown. Unsure if Williams birth was ever registered.

Many thanks

Civil Regn started in 1837 ....


so do you want him sought out in the early censuses, so you can establish his parents names and any siblings ?

Yes, it is his parents that I am especially interested in.

Many thanks

No sign in 1841 Kingston area, nor more broadly in Surrey - apart from a chap born 1826, Great Bookham.

Hi Debbie

Have you managed to follow him back through all the censuses?

Or is that the info you need?

We're good at that

Yes ideally, I've hit a wall not knowing his parents. He is a bit of a mystery in general, as earlier mentioned I don't think his birth was registered and neither do I believe he actually married Bessie however she took his name!! So yes you could call tham an "interesting family"!!!. It is info on his parents I need to move forward.
