BRADBURN

[Skoosh]

Bran, it was a Joseph Bradburn from that family who married to my gt aunt Phoebe. The names are there!

Unfortunately my Joseph Bradburn did not marry your great aunt Phoebe, and he remained in Shropshire his whole life. But as I say, it's quite possible that members of that extended family moved to Glasgow and elsewhere.

In Glasgow in 1871, earlier than I thought, Brian. This is them in 1881,
15 River street, Dennistoun, Glasgow.
Thomas Bradburn 47, blacksmith, b. England.
Matilda Bradburn 39,                          "
William G Bradburn 12,                 b. Glasgow.
Mary K 10,                                          "
Thomas  5                                           "
Matilda   3                                           "

Pretty sure this is the right Bradburn's, an uncommon name here.  By 1891 they are in 40 James Orr Street, Townhead, Glasgow. One of them married my gt aunt who was at No' 34, b. Dudley, father a Forbes, a glassblower, her mother an Edmunds, Staffs.
Maybe they got together of an evening to discuss the cricket scores?

Thomas Bradburn was my 3 x great grandfather. I have found his death record from April 1910 which states his father's name and it looks like Isaac (it's quite hard to read). I don't suppose you have any further information on Thomas or his father?

Thanks! I don't suppose you know whereabouts in England Thomas Bradburn was born? Looking through the thread it seems it could be Shropshire. I have found birth records for Thomas Bradburns in Chester and Manchester from around that period, but nothing else.

BTW, my mother's middle name was Matilda which was obviously carried on from Matilda Bradburn, and my grandmother's middle name was Bradburn.
