Matthew Bradford c1765-1849.

Hi

They married by license and one of the witnesses was one of those pesky regular witnesses. The other was a William Smith.

I have contacted the owner of the tree which has a Matthew Bradford to see where they got the info on him and if they know where he was baptised.

If that Henry Bradford who died in Barling in 1828 was the same one born in 1752 in Dullingham, Cambs then it does increase the likelihood of him being a brother or even cousin of Matthew Bradford who wed in 1798. I shall keep digging. As said that Henry wed in 1780 in Great Wakering, Essex.

Hi.  I have been looking into the Bradford's for a friend.  She is descended from Thomas, born 1806 and living at White House, Canewdon as an ag. bailiff with his wife, Sarah and children.

I am assuming (in pencil) that your Matthew, living at Camper House, Southchurch may be Thomas' brother as the dates and names fit.  Does this fit in with your information?

Sorry I can't fill in any details for you but will certainly let you know if I find anything.
