Bradley children

[J.J.]

You may be in luck as marriages March Q. 1882
Patrick BARRETT with a Kate Bradley on page Toxteth Park   vol. 8b  p.450
There's a  Catherine BRADLEY, Servant at 142 Harrowby age 14 for the Mosely family...seems young, but 16 years olds married all the time so suppose could be..... you could pick up that marriage as well, but I suppose it could be a cousin as well as a sister, but you never know...

BTW my ancestor's family tended to use middle names as well....
~~~~~~~
Did you note that the fellow Joseph & Robina were with in 1881 Toxteth Park was a tailor as well...Might his name have been Parker as there appear to be some Parker/Bradley connections and there was a Parker 2 doors down...
and Elizabeth Wheler ( one household down, but same address) says wife ( head) but no husband shown.

thanks for that, JJ, yes I did see the tailor connection... If John/Michael/Michl Bradley was a tailor and Joseph's dad indeed, the Bakers/Barkers/Parkers might have been connected/related but I don't think parents I am awaiting more certificates to clear a few things up, but it does look like the relationships in the 1881 census were perhaps misinterpreted, as Debbie said. I am pretty sure Elizabeth Wheler (possible maiden name Ganly) is Robina's mother, and Elizabeth Ann L'Estrange (or Strange as I found out since from m. between Elizabeth (Annie in 1871 census) Wheeler and John Strange in 1872), 26, is Robina's sister, and Elizabeth Ann (most probably Elizabeth and John's daughter), 6, her niece. Could not find John Strange anywhere after 1874 though.

Father George Wheeler is back on the 1891 Census. He was a mariner, so I suppose it's possible he was just not present for the other censuses... He is there with wife Elizabeth and daughter Elizabeth (now Challand) and grand-daughter Elizabeth Strange.

I find it sometimes quite confusing, sigh. AND going in every directions  There are too many Josephs, Robinas and Elizabeths in that family, lol.

But it's looking good, at any rate if I am right I might have gone one generation back on grand-ma's maternal side Fingers crossed

Suzanne,
   The Anfossi family of Canada are my brother's future in-laws.  Their Canadian relative is Joseph Leopold Anfossi born 24 Apr 1920 in Canada. He served in WWII and was a decorated Sergeant in the 2nd Armoured Regiment (Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians)) 5th Canadian Armoured Division http://www.rcaca.org/includes/r-LdSH.asp.

   Could Joseph Leopold (died 2005 in Irvine, California USA) be one of the 8 children you were referring to? I have a confirmed knowledge of 4: Joseph Jean Arthur b. 1910 (aka John, Giovanni),  Angelina Ruby Charlotte b. 1912 (aka Angiolina), Francois Joseph Stephen b. 1913 (aka Francesco), and Michele Secondo b. 1918.

  Trying to put together the family tree for my new extended family so I would love to know the rest of the family, the Bradley family included and if you are aware of Joseph Leopold because this is the only Anfossi family (Michele Francesco Anfossi and Elizabeth Bradley) that I have found in Canada. Thank you and God bless!

I found John's Death in 1919.

Giovanni Anfossi on March 7 (registered March 10).  It says he was 8.  That fits.

It has the mother as Elizabeth Biedel.

It has the father as a `journalier'.  I could not find it in the translation program I often use.

Journalier means laborer.

I am directly related to The Bradleys in Liverpool UK. I have some info but also lots of gaps. Happy to have a chat with Montie about plugging those gaps if needed!
