JAmes BRAGG born 1803
« on: Monday 14 August 17 14:14 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
 I have a James BRAGG baptised 1803 in Handsworth, Staffordshire, son of James and Maria. I am trying to find some more details of this family as I have not been able to confirm these details. James was in South Australia by 1860 when he married Jane GRAINGER at Mitcham, South Australia.
Any help appreciated,
Thank you,
 Marie in Sydney.

The James Bragg born 1803 Hednesford is in Aston Warwickshire in 1861 married to Ann and died there in 1879

They have a son b 1827 also called James but he is still there on the 1861 as well

Thank you Suzard. I think the 1829 one makes more sense. After all, he didn't marry till 1860 and kept having children for the next 20 years. I wonder how I can be sure this is him.

I think it is the 1829 one as I cant find him after the 1851 census so here are the details

1841 Birmingham al; born in county except Maria

Maria Bragg 45 silver burnisher
Louisa Bragg 18
Ann Bragg 14
James Bragg 12
William Bragg
Benjamin Bragg 1

1851 Factory Road Birmingham

Maria 55 widow b Handsworth
James 21 b Birmingham silver chaser
William 15 b Birmingham

James Bragg married Maria Hodgetts 18.6.1815 St Martins Birmingham

it looks like James senior died 1841 aged 49

this is just an indexed record , but the marriage of James Bragg to Jane Grainger , 6 Nov 1860 in Clare , Adelaide , gives his father's name as Thomas Bragg. On another site the record says the marriage took place at St Michael's Church , Mitcham but it still has the father as Thomas Bragg.
