Dear Mum44, Jim 1212 and Daisypetal,
Thank you for your interest and wonderful discussion. I have sent off this morning for the marriage certificate for Eleanor. It should be here in about two to three weeks. I will post information on the site after it arrives from UK.

Thanks again for your efforts,

Thanks Mum44


I just wish I could find his death, I've looked on the images from 1851 to 1861 under BRADLEY and BRADLY but can't see him at all, maybe a bad mistranscription of his name or I just missed it

I have found this death,

Edron BRADLEY    Mar Q 1850     Shipston On Stour    11  335

but I think he is the 'other' Edron living here in 1841, HO107/120/12  f.26  p.8 Shipston On Stour.

Dear Readers,

I received yesterday the marriage certificate for Eleanor Bradley and James Anderson. Eleanor's father was confirmed as EDRON - mother  was Lucy.

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.

Dear Hilbe,
How wonderful to receive a reply such as yours! 

Thank you so much. I am happy to share any information re common names in our family so please do not hesitate to ask if I can be of assistance to you. I am tickled pink that you can provide this information to me re the Bradleys Any further info you wish to pass on would be warmly welcomed.
Thanks again for your kind thought!

Best Regards,

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?

Best wishes

Dear Hilbe,

I am sorry but I cannot help you on this one - you have much more information than I have. What I do know is Eleanor's daughter Lucy married Robert Matthew Robertson (my Grandfather's brother). Before I started this exchange through Rootschat I knew nothing at all about the Bradley family except a few points found from various census details.
If you can suggest any way in which I can help you further in your searching please tell me as I am quite willing to share information. If you wish to extend Eleanor's family line which links up with the Robertson family from Liverpool (that's my line) then please let me know. I can tell you that Lucy Caroline married Robert Matthew Robertson in 1897 and up till 1913 had had at least eight children. Robert died in 1930 and Lucy Caroline passed away in Liverpool in 1941. I have a photograph of their grave in Toxteth Park Cemetery if you wish to see it.

Best Regards,

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
Hilbe
