vii Introduction

There are six books that I'm writing about my ancestors because there are far too many pages that cover my research to fit conveniently into anything less. This book, as well as the other books, are copies of my working books and should be considered as a research-in-progress which I update when I have something new to add. The details pages within the book contain the sources of information that I've used to compile the work. Some information has only a single source, may be circumstantial or is the work of other researchers that has not been confirmed. I try to make that understood where it occurs.

A family research project is never truly done and mine is no exception. If authors want to finish a family research they simply pick a point and stop. I have not and probably will not. I provide access to my research now to answer the many questions I get about the families and the requests for copies of my work.

This book is about my Aitken, Berry, Bradford, Bremont, Bull, Hardie, Reid, Stokes, Willis and the collateral families. The other five books cover my other ancestors. The titles of all six books and their relationship to each other are as follows:

Allen, Aspden, Birch, Bland, Constantine, Dean, Horn, Richardson, Willisell and Collateral Ancestors of Edward D. Bradford A Dean female in this book marries to a Bradford in another book. You must also refer to that book in order to follow my direct line.

Hansell, Roberts, Souplis/Supplee/Suplee and Collateral Ancestors of Edward D. Bradford A Hansell female in this book marries a Dean in another Book. You must also refer to that book in order to follow my direct line.

Brown, Graham, Highfield, Linton, Press, Williamson and Collateral Ancestors of Edward D. Bradford A Press female in this book marries a Dean in another book. You must also refer to that book in order to follow my direct line.

Baldock, Brown, Brungar, Day, Drury, Hinkley, Homewood, Hovenden, Kettell, Luckhurst, Mantle, Munk, Spencer, Watts, Willard, Wood and Collateral Ancestors of Edward, D. Bradford A Homewood female in this book marries a Dean in another book. You must also refer to that book in order to follow my direct line.

Aitken, Berry, Bradford, Bremont, Bull, Hardie, Reid, Stokes, Willis and Collateral Ancestors of Edward D. Bradford This book brings my ancestry to a close.

Camp, Cocke, Devile, Fish, Kelly/Kelley, Longfellow, Osborne, Ross, Wood and Collateral Ancestors of Edward. D Bradford A Kelly female in this book marries a Bradford in another book. You must also refer to that book in order to follow my direct line.

1 Book Organization

Within this book I provide the conclusions about relationships that I have drawn and the facts that I've found to support them. The families are listed in alphabetical order. The members of each family are grouped in chronological order with the oldest member that I'm aware of appearing first.

While doing my research, I was primarily interested in my direct line. However, if facts about a side line were found, I recorded it. My direct line ancestors are listed on family group sheets. Any side line is listed in outline tree format. Following each family group sheet or outline tree are the details that I found which support my conclusions. On occasion I have listed details that I found about an individual but did not develop an outline tree because only one or two members of that line could be found and it wasn't practical.

I have also recorded information that may be relevant but I could not find supporting information to establish the link. In those cases I bring that to light in an "Author Note" which is in italics. I also use the "Author Note" to convey personal information and comments.

At the beginning of each family, I provide a narrative of where my research on that family stands. In that narrative, I discuss where I have been and what I think needs to be researched. The work on these families isn't finished. There is plenty more to do. I provide this information now for you to use and to build upon.

2 Preface

The fact that you are here and reading this text means that each of your direct ancestors survived long enough to provide a next of kin. They endured hardships that we have a hard time relating to today. They survived the cold, the heat, floods, infestations, raids, wars, and mishaps. Not to mention diseases like smallpox, cholera, and the plague. We are truly fortunate to be here.

I have found that of those ancestors which survived, some left behind volumes of information and monuments that tell the family story. Then there are some ancestors that walked this earth and never left a footprint.

While pursuing what I have recorded here, some of the information poured forth in great abundance at a rate that was almost overwhelming. Some of it was extracted bit by bit from the cracks and crevices of archives and churches over long periods of time.

For me this project has been a journey through time that I've enjoyed very much. I've made new friends along the way. Many of them I've only met through correspondence and may never meet in person. With many of them I have become close and continue to correspond.

While you're reading through what I've written, please keep in mind that back in time there was no required process or law governing a name change and it could occur at the whim of the owner. In addition some names were left to the spelling of the scribe because the owner couldn't read or write.

3 4 The Aitken Family

5 The Aitken Family Research

I've found the Aitken family in Midlothian, Scotland. I have found only two gernerations. Some of the information is only single sourced and a lot more research needs to be done.

The first Aitken ancestor is William Aitken who married Anna Hardie. This I know from the five birth records of their children who were born in Inveresk with Musselburgh, Midlothian, Scotland and their 1690 marriage record from the same town. Anna was born during 1666.

The next Aitken ancestor is Marion who was born in 1693 and married James Berry during 1723 at Inveresk with Musselburgh.

The Aitken Family Line

In the pages that follow, the families of direct ancestors are shown on family group sheets and the families of indirect ancestors (brothers and sisters of a direct ancestor) are shown in outline format. Following each family group sheet or outline are the details about that family. When there was just one brother or sister with no family and I had a lot of information about that person, I recorded that person's details but did not precede it with an outline page.

The direct ancestors of the author are contained in the following list. They are arranged in the order of the oldest first. You will find them on family group sheets within this chapter.

10 The Berry Family

11 The Berry Family Research

I've found the Berry family in Middlesex, England and Midlothian, Scotland. There are many Berry families in the census and other research sources. However, I haven't been able to establish a link to them because I've been unable to find sufficient proof. I have found the name spelled Berry, Berrie, Barry and Barrey. Since Berry seems to be the most consistant and the last spelling used, I'm using that spelling to identify the family.

The threads that bind this family together are loosely woven. Much more research needs to be done and much more data needs to be gathered to tighten the fabric of family ties. I feel that there is sufficient evidence to report what I'm presenting in the following pages. I would feel a little more comfortable if I had additional supporting information.

The earliest Berry ancestor that I've found is John Berry. He is listed as the father of James Berry in a church record. No wife for John is mentioned or has been found. He would probably have been born about 1665.

James Berry, born about 1690, is the son of John. James married Marion Aitken during 1723 in Inveresk with Musselburgh, Midlothian, Scotland.

William Berry, the son of James, was born during 1736 in Inveresk with Musselburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. He married Christian Reid during 1760 in Dalkeith, Midlothian, Scotland.

Next in line is John Berry who was born about 1765 in Scotland. He married Christine Irvine during 1788 in Inveresk, Midlothian, Scotland which is a few miles outside of Edinburgh.

The next ancestor in my Berry line is John who is the son of John. He was born in Inversek, Scotland in 1807. He married Mary Ann Poke about 1830 probably in St. George in the East, Middlesex, England. John died sometime after 1859.

William Berry, the son of John, is next in my line. He was born in St. George in the East during 1838. William married Lousia Elizabeth Stokes in Bethnal Green, Middlesex England during 1859. William died before 1878.

Alice Frances Berry, the daughter of William, was born in Wapping, England during 1860. She married my great grandfather, John William Bradford in Bethnal Green during 1878. She died at Poplar Hospital during 1909 as the result of a fall down stairs. At the time she and John were living in Ilford. John died in 1920.

A lot of the information I have on this family is single sourced. More confirming information is needed to ensure accuracy.

52 The Bradford Family

53 The Bradford Family Research

I have corresponded with some relatives that remain in England. They have been most helpful in providing information on their lines. There doesn't seem to be anyone else seriously researching this Bradford line.

So far in my research, the family seems to be located in and around the Middlesex and Essex areas of England before coming to America. These areas were devastated during World War II and some records may have been lost. I haven't gone to do any research at the records office in England or any of the archives. I have made inquiries which have produced some results. Without being there and looking at the documents first hand makes it difficult. I'm sure that I'm overlooking good sources of information simply because I don't know that they exist. Being in the area while doing the research has always proven to be most fruitful. To make any great progress, I believe that this is the next step, although, an expensive one.

I assume that sometime in the past, this family has taken its surname from the town of Bradford in one of the counties of England. It appears that the oldest record of the use of the surname Bradford is of Clericus De Bradford who is mentioned in a deed witnessed about the year 1220 in the town of Bradford, Yorkshire. According to what I've read, the "De" means "of" so that the name could be interpreted to read Clericus of Bradford. I mention this not because I believe that we are related but to indicate that records prior to 1400 will be more difficult to trace because of the lack of a surname.

Of course there are many other reasons for the difficulty in tracing records. It appears that in most cases, a family assumes a town's name only after they have moved away from it. For instance, my surname Bradford would probably have not been assumed while the family lived there. It would have been only after leaving the area that they would have assumed Bradford as a surname. Of course the surname could have come from other sources such as the surname of the landholder of the land on which they worked. At some time in my research I hope to get to the point where I have to formally ponder that question. Right now I'm a long way off.

The first Bradford ancestor that I'm aware of is James who was born about 1788 and died in 1838. I've arrived at the conclusion of James as the father in a round about manner. I have his son Thomas, who is also in my direct line, listed as head of household in the 1851 census. Also living with him are his mother Sarah Bradford and three sisters Sarah, Eliza and Louisa. The listing of Louisa's birth in the IGI files has James and Sarah as the parents. The marriage of Eliza lists James as the father. The parish registers list James as marrying Sarah Harvey in 1812. If he was actually born in 1788, he would have been 24 years old at the time.

The next ancestor in my direct line is Thomas Bradford the son of James who was born about 1825. I believe that he just lived with and never married Caroline Bremont. It appears that Thomas died in January of 1871. In March of that year, the family is listed under the surname Bremont in the census. Also when Caroline dies, her death certificate lists her as Caroline Bremont. In the 1881 census, the family is once again listed under the surname of Bradford. It's interesting to note that Caroline had a couple children, Alfred and Emma Bradford, in 1873 and 1875 respectively, which is a couple years after Thomas died.

The next ancestor in my direct line is John William Bradford who is my great grandfather. He is the son of Thomas and was born about 1860. John married Alice Frances Berry in 1878. Alice died in 1909. In 1914, at the age of 54, John entered the British Army to fight during WWI. It appears that he was discharged at the end of the war. John died in England during 1920.

My grandfather, Albert Edward Bradford, is the son of John. He was born in 1894 and married Rose Hannah Kelly in 1920. They lived in Barking, England for a short while where my father was born and then in 1922 they followed the Kelley family to America and relocated to Swissvale Borough near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He and his family entered the United States through Ellis Island. Later they bought a farm in Dixonville, Pennsylvania and lived there until the early 1940s when they moved to Newark, Delaware.

54 Albert died in 1955 and Rose died in 1961.

56 Details of the James Bradford and Sarah Harvey Family

Provided by the 1841 census

The following household is listed in the 1841 British census contained in the files of the Public Record Office of England, HO107/691/5 folio 34 page 20, at Middle Walk, St Mathew, Bethnal Green, hundred Ossulstone (Tower Division), county of Middlesex, England.

Author Note: It is possible that Ann Schak is the mother of Sarah. It is also possible that Ann was just someone that was taken in and given shelter. A search of the current available records has provided no leads. The relationship of Samuel Bradford to the rest of the family is also in question. He could be a son but is most likely a nephew, the son of William Bradford who could be a brother to deceased James.

74 Details of the Thomas Bradford and Caroline Bremont Family

Provided by the 1841 British census

The following household is contained the 1841 British census held by the Public Record Office of England. The listing is contained in HO107/691/5 folio 34 page 20, at Middle Walk, St Mathew, Bethnal Green Sarah Bradford, age 47 (1794), washing Ann Schak, age 77 (1764), shoe bow Thomas Bradford, age 18 (1823), porter Samuel Bradford, age 15 (1826) Sarah Bradford, age 10 (1831) Eliza Bradford, age 7 (1834) Louisa Bradford, age 3 (1838)

Provided by the 1851 census

In the files of the Public Record Office of England is the 1851 census for the parish of Bethnal Green, Ecclesiastical District of St. Bartholomew, Borough of Tower Hamlets, the Bradford family is listed as living at 40 Somerford St. The census record is in Public Record Office bundle HO 170/1541. That census record appears on The Family Research Center roll 0174771, page 129. They are listed as follows Thomas Bradford, Head of household, Married, age 26 years (abt. 1825), Poulterer, born in Bethnal Green, Middlesex Caroline Bradford, Wife, Married, age 20 years (abt. 1831), born in LPool (I assume Liverpool?) Thomas Bradford, Son, Unmarried, age 2 years (abt. 1849), born in Bethnal Green, Middlesex (No Name) Bradford, Daughter, Unmarried, age 1 month, born in Bethnal Green Middlesex Sarah Bradford, Mother, Widow,age 55 years (abt. 1796), born in Hackney, Middlesex Sarah Bradford, Sister, Unmarried, age 20 years (abt. 1831), born in Bethnal Green, Middlesex Elizabeth Bradford, Sister, Unmarried, age 18 years (abt. 1833), born in Bethnal Green, Middlesex Louisa Bradford, Sister, Unmarried, age 12 years (abt. 1839), born in Bethnal Green, Middlesex

Author Note: Caroline Bradford is reported in the 1851 census to be born about 1831 in LPool which I assume is Liverpool. The 1871 census reports that she was born about 1831 in Maidstone, Kent. The 1881 census reports that she was born about 1835 in Maidstone, Kent. The birth certificates of two of her children indicate that she could not read or write. The 1835 birth date is probably not correct because that would make her 14 years old when her son Thomas was born. Since the 1851 census was a little closer to the event and the census information was probably taken from someone that was better informed, I will use that information.

The no-named child was eventually named Sarah Caroline Bradford as her birth certificate shows.

Provided by the 1861 British Census

No record of the Thomas Bradford family could be found in the Whitechapel, Bethnal Green or around St. George in the East areas in the 1861 British census.

Author Note: The family is probably still in the Bethnal Green area. Unfortunately there are pages missing in the census. The house numbers for Somerford Street go no higher than 20 on the existing pages. In the 1851 census the family resides at 40 Somerford Street. The page containing that address appears to be missing or destroyed in the 1861 census. The residence at 24 Trafalgar Place, Bethnal Green is vacant at the time the 1861 census was taken.

Provided by the 1871 British Census

75 In the files of the Public Record Office of England is the 1871 British census, RG10 536, page 11, folio 33, on 58 Devonshire St, St George in the East, London (Tower Hamlets) is listed the following Caroline Bremont, head, female, widow, age 40 (abt. 1831), a hawker, born in Maidstone, Kent Thomas Bremont, son, unmarried, age 22 (abt. 1849), railway porter, born in Mitcham, Surrey Caroline Bremont, daughter, unmarried, age 12 (about 1859), born in Maidstone, Kent John Bremont, son, unmarried, age 10 (about 1861), a porter, born in London, Middlesex James Bremont, son, unmarried, age 8 (about 1863), born in London, Middlesex William Bremont, son, unmarried, age 5 (about 1866), born in London, Middlesex Jesse Bremont, daughter, unmarried, age 1 (about 1870), born in London, Middlesex

Author Note: Caroline, the head of household, is listed as a widow which leads me to believe that she claimed to be married and that her husband, Thomas, died early in 1871. The last name of Bremont, Caroline's maiden name, is used instead of Bradford which leads me to once again believe that Caroline and Thomas may not have been married. Devonshire Street is just a few blocks North of Cornwall Street. I have not found any other document that supports the daughter Caroline being born in Kent.

Provided by the 1881 British Census

In the files of the Public Record Office of England is the 1881 British census, RG11, piece 0454, folio 103, page 8 living at 123 Cornwall Street, St George in the East, London, Middlesex, England are the following people all born in London, Middlesex, England John Bradford, head, married, age 21 (about 1860), unemployed gen.laborer Alice Bradford, wife, married, age 21 (about 1860) John Bradford, son, age 1 (about 1880) Thomas Bradford, son age 3 months (about 1881) Emily Bradford, daughter, age 4 months (about 1880)

Also in the 1881 census, RG11, piece 0454, folio 102, page 5, residing at 109 Cornwall Street, St George in the East, London, Middlesex, England are the following people Caroline Bradford, head, widow, age 46 (about 1835), poultry dealer, born in Maidstone, Kent, England James Bradford, son, age 17 (about 1864), born in London, Middlesex, England William Bradford, son, age 15 (about 1866) born in London, Middlesex, England Jessie Bradford, daughter, age 10 (about 1871), scholar, born in London, Middlesex, England Alfred Bradford, son, age 8 (about 1873), scholar, born in London, Middlesex, England Emma Bradford, age 6 (about 1875), scholar, born in London, Middlesex, England.

Also in the census, RG11, piece 0454, folio 133, page 21, residing at 38 Spenser Street, St George in the East, London, England is the following person Thomas Bradford, lodger, widower, age 29 (about 1852), widowed dock laborer, born in Whitechapel, Middlesex, England.

Author note The facts that James is the right age to be the brother of John, Caroline is a widow and this family is located a short distance up the street from John William Bradford, leads me to believe that Caroline is the mother of John. Spenser Street, the residence of Thomas Bradford, is two blocks away from Cornwall Street. If Caroline's husband Thomas died in early 1871 or before as indicated by the widow status of Caroline in the 1871 census, then Thomas could not be the father of Alfred and Emma.

Provided by the 1891 British Census

No record of Caroline Bradford located in St. George in the East could be found in the 1891 census.

I found no record of 21 year old Jessie Bradford, 18 year old Alfred Bradford or 16 year old Emma Bradford in Middlesex or London counties during the 1891 census.

76 In the files of the Public Record Office of England is the 1891 census, living at 123 Cornwall Street, St Geroge in the East are the following people John Bradford, head, married, age 30 (1861), printer, born in Whitechapel, Middlesex, England Alice Bradford, wife, married, age 29 (1862), born in Shadwell, London, England John Bradford, son, single, age 12 (1879), scholar, born in Shadwell, London, England William Bradford, son, single, age 7 (1884), born in Shadwell, London, England Alice Bradford, daughter, single, age 3 (1888), born in Shadwell, London, England Henry Bradford, son, single, age 6 months (1890), born in Shadwell, London, England Thomas Bradford, brother, single, age 40 (1851), carpenter, born in Whitechapel, London, England (illegible probably James) Bradford, brother, single, age 27 (1864), carman, born in Whitechapel, London, England

Provided by the 1901 British Census

No record of Caroline Bradford who would be about 66 years old and born in Kent could be found in the 1901 census. No record of Thomas Bradford who was about 50 years old and born in Whitechapel could be found in the 1901 census. Also there is no record of Alfred. Jessie and Emma are residing on Arthur Street, Wimblebury, Staffordshire, England. John and James are listed in Ilford, Essex, England.

Provided by the marriage certificate of Thomas Samuel Bradford and Mary Ann George

Thomas Samuel Bradford and Mary Ann George were married at St James's the Less in the parish of Bethnal Green, County of Middlesex on 29 May 1871. Both of their ages are listed as full. He is a bachelor and she a spinster. Thomas' occupation is listed as confectioner. Thomas was residing at 15 Park Place at the time of the marriage and Mary Ann resided at 13 Park Place. Thomas's father is listed as Thomas Bradford a poulterer and Mary Ann's father is listed as Thomas George a poulterer. Thomas signed his name and Mary Ann signed with her mark. The marriage was witnessed by Edward Butler and Isabella Skinner.

Provided by the birth certificate of Thomas Samuel Bradford

Thomas Samuel Bradford was born on the 3rd of January 1849 at 11 Trafalgar Place, Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England. His father is listed as Thomas Bradford a poulterer. His mother is listed as Caroline Bradford formerly Bremont. They resided at the place of birth. His mother signed the registration with an X mark.

Author Note: it appears that Thomas was named after his father, John was named after his grandfather on his mother's side and James was named after his grandfather on his father's side.

Provided by the marriage certificate of John William Bradford and Alice Frances Berry

The whereabouts of Thomas Bradford and family provided by various sources

In 1841 Thomas is living with his mother at Middle Walk, Bethnal Green according to the census In 1849 the family resided at 11 Trafalgar Place, Bethnal Green when son Thomas was born In 1851 the family resided at 40 Somerford Street, Bethnal Green according to the census In 1855 daughter Marrianne was born at 24 Trafalgar Place, Bethnal Green according to parish records In 1857 daughter Louisa was born at 24 Trafalgar Place, Bethnal Green according to parish records

77 In 1860 son John was born at 8 North Road, Bethnal Green according to parish records 1861 the page containing the residence at 40 Somerford Street, Bethnal Green is missing from the census In 1864 son James was born in Whitechapel according to the census In 1866 the family resided at 2 Colchester Street, Whitechapel when son William was born. William was actually born at 2 Earle Place, Mile End Old Town. Thomas probably died on 3 January 1871 in the Bethnal Green Workhouse according to a death certificate which is likely his In 1871 Caroline and family lived at 58 Devonshire Street, St George in the East according to the census. They are listed under the surname of Bremont. In 1881 Caroline and family lived at 109 Cornwall Street, St George in the East according to the census. In 1884 Caroline and her remaining children lived on Sheridan Street according to William's army enlistment papers. In 1884/5 Caroline was a Hawker of 55 Sheridan Street just prior to her death. Caroline died in the Workhouse Infirmary on Princes Street on 11 February 1885 according to her death certificate. She is listed under the surname of Bremont.

Provided by the birth certificate of William Bradford

William Bradford was born on the 18th of February 1866 at 2 Earle Place, Mile End Old Town, Middlesex, England. His father is listed as Thomas Bradford a Poulterer. His mother is listed as Caroline Bradford formerly Bremont. They resided at 2 Colchester Street, Whitechapel, Middlesex, England. His mother signed the registration with her mark.

Provided by the death certificate of Caroline Bremont

Caroline Bremont died on 11 February 1885 at the Workhouse Infirmary on Princes Street. Her death is registered in the district of Saint George in the East on 11 February 1885. She is listed as a 50 year old female whose occupation was a hawker of 55 Sheridan Street. The cause of death is listed as Phthisis which was certified by J. G. Deacon the Resident Medical Officer. The registrar is Alexander Littlejohn.

Author Note: The dictionary defines Phthisis as "A wasting or consumption of the tissues. The term is now obsolete; it was once applied to many wasting diseases, but in the early 1900's became restricted to tuberculosis of the lungs."

I believe that this is Caroline Bradford (nee Bremont). A search of the entire 1881 census for the surname of Bremont turns up only one person; 30 year old Elizabeth Bremont. In the 1881 census Caroline Bradford is listed as 46 years old which would put her birth about 1835. Caroline Bremont's birth would also be about 1835. I find that Caroline Bremont is in the right area of London, her last name is the same as the maiden name of Caroline Bradford, I have found no record of Caroline Bradford after the 1881 census, and the birth dates are reported to be in the same year. Also, in the 1871 census, Caroline listed the family's last Name as Bremont when other census and birth records have them as Bradford. Although there is not conclusive proof, I feel that there is enough circumstantial evidence for me to draw the conclusion that the two Carolines are probably one and the same. I'm listing Caroline Bradford's death as 11 February 1885 but I'll continue to look for further evidence that proves or disproves my assumption.

Provided by the death certificate of Thomas Bradford

Thomas Bradford died on 3 January 1871 at the Bethnal Green Workhouse. His death is registered in the district of Bethnal Green, Middlesex on 6 January 1871. He is listed as a 43 year old male that died of hepatitis which was certified. His occupation is listed as unknown. The informant is Edward J. Adams in attendance at the Bethnal Green Workhouse. The registrar is Sir Fred Bradburry. Above the name on the certificate is the name John which is crossed out. Next to John is the number 16.

Author Note: Although it's not mentioned, I assume that he died in the workhouse infirmary. Unfortunately,

78 there is no absolute proof in what is written to show that this is the Thomas Bradford of my line. However, in the 1871 census, which was taken on 31 March 1871, Caroline does indicate that she is a widow. There isn't any other Thomas Bradford listed in the death files that I have found that is near this date. More proof is needed to establish this as fact or to disprove it.

Provided by the birth certificate of Sarah Caroline Bradford

Sarah Caroline Bradford was born on the 1st of March 1851 at 40 Somerford Street, Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England. Her father is listed as Thomas Bradford a poulterer. Her mother is listed as Caroline Bradford formerly Bremont.They resided at 40 Somerford Street, Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England. Her mother signed the registration with her mark. The registrar is James Briggs.

Author Note: it appears that Sarah was named after her grandmothers on both sides of the family.

Provided by the General Register Office of England

The following information was found in the records of the General Register Office of England.

A search of the birth records by researchers that I hired in England for the birth of John William Bradford produced no record.

Also, I have not been able to find the birth record of James Bradford nor the marriage record of Thomas Bradford and Caroline Bremont.

A search of the listings in the General Register Office for the birth of Caroline Bradford somewhere in Kent from the March quarter of 1858 to the December quarter of 1860 turned up only one listing; registered in Maidstone during the June quarter of 1859, volume 2a, page 432. Upon ordering the certificate I found that this Caroline Bradford is the daughter of John and Esther Bradford who are no relation. No other listing was found.

A search of the listings in the General Register Office of England for the birth records of Jessie, Alfred, or Emma Bradford have produced no results. I've also searched under the surname Bremont in case that name was used but it was to no avail. Because their mother had died before they reached majority age, I checked on children being sent elsewhere like Canada but couldn't find any record of them. Although, that search was not done fully because all records were not available to me at the time.

The birth of Thomas Samuel Bradford was registered during the March quarter of 1849 in the district of Bethnal Green and is listed in volume 2 on page 11. During that time the district of Bethnal Green was in the county of Middlesex, England and contained only the civil parish of Bethnal Green.

The death of Mary Ann Hannah Bradford was registered during the September quarter of 1858 in the district of Bethnal Green and is listed in volume 1c on page 199. During that time the district of Bethnal Green was in the county of Middlesex, England and contained only the civil parish of Bethnal Green.

The death of Thomas Bradford was registered during the March quarter of 1871 in the district of Bethnal Green and is listed in volume 1c on page 202. During that time the district of Bethnal Green was in the county of Middlesex, England and contained only the civil parish of Bethnal Green.

In the 1871 British census which is contained in the files of the Public Record Office of England, RG10 536, page 11, folio 33, on 58 Devonshire Street, St George in the East, London (Tower Hamlets) is listed the following Caroline Bremont, head, a widow, age 40 (about 1831), hawker, born in Maidstone, Kent Thomas Bremont, son, unmarried, age 22 (abt. 1849), railway porter,born in Mitcham, Surrey Caroline Bremont, daughter, unmarried, age 12 (about 1859), born in Maidstone, Kent John Bremont, son, unmarried, age 10 (about 1861), porter, born in London, Middlesex James Bremont, son, unmarried, age 8 (about 1863, born in London, Middlesex William Bremont, son, unmarried, age 5 (about 1866), born in London, Middlesex Jesse Bremont, daughter, unmarried, age 1 (about 1870), born in London, Middlesex

Author Note: Caroline is listed as a widow which leads me to believe that Caroline claimed to be married and that Thomas died early in 1871. The last name of Bremont, Caroline's maiden name, is used instead of Bradford which leads me to believe that Caroline and Thomas may not have been married after all. Devonshire Street is just a few blocks from Cornwall Street.

In the files of the Public Record Office of England is the 1871 British census, RG10 536, page 11, folio 33, on 58 Devonshire St, St George in the East, London (Tower Hamlets) is listed the following Caroline Bremont, head, female, widow, age 40 (abt. 1831), a hawker, born in Maidstone, Kent Thomas Bremont, son, unmarried, age 22 (abt. 1849), railway porter, born in Mitcham, Surrey Caroline Bremont, daughter, unmarried, age 12 (about 1859), born in Maidstone, Kent John Bremont, son, unmarried, age 10 (about 1861), a porter, born in London, Middlesex James Bremont, son, unmarried, age 8 (about 1863), born in London, Middlesex William Bremont, son, unmarried, age 5 (about 1866), born in London, Middlesex Jesse Bremont, daughter, unmarried, age 1 (about 1870), born in London, Middlesex

Author Note: A search of the listings in the General Register Office for the birth of Caroline Bradford somewhere in Kent from the March quarter of 1858 to the December quarter of 1860 turned up only one listing; registered in Maidstone during the June quarter of 1859, volume 2a, page 432. Upon ordering the certificate I found that this Caroline Bradford is the daughter of John and Esther Bradford who are no relation. No other listing was found. She is not with the family during the 1881 census.

Caroline, the head of household, is listed as a widow which leads me to believe that she claimed to be married and that her husband, Thomas, died early in 1871. The last name of Bremont, Caroline's maiden name, is used instead of Bradford which leads me once again to believe that Caroline and Thomas may not have been married. The surname Bradford is used once again in the 1881 census.

Provided by the East London Cemetery, Grange Road, Plaistow, England

A visit to the cemetery on 26 May 1998 revealed the following. The graveyard was opened in 1874. The graves of John and James Bradford were in the public area of the graveyard. That area is reserved for those who cannot afford to buy a plot. During World War II, a train yard next to the graveyard became a target in a bombing raid by the German Air Force. Some of the bombs fell on the graveyard, destroying most all of the graves in the public area near the train yard, including those of John and James Bradford. The bomb blasts were so strong that some of the rail cars were blown up into the graveyard. After the wreckage was cleared, the ground was found to be very disturbed. It was determined that, under the circumstances, all that could be done was level off the disturbed area and fill it to a six foot higher level. New graves now occupy that ground. The only record of the old graves exists in the cemetery’s books. The listing for James Bradford indicates that he was buried in grave 14517. He died on 16 September 1928 and was 64 years old. He was at 5 Arragon Road, East Ham, England when he died.

Author Note: Jessie is reportedly born in May of 1870. Assuming the pregnancy went full term, I calculate that the pregnancy was conceived in August or September of 1869. Thomas Bradford, Caroline's "husband", died 16 months after conception on 3 January 1871. With this group of ancestors we can never be sure, however, based on the facts that we have, I believe that Thomas Bradford is the actual father of Jessie. Henry may have been the father of Alfred born in 1873 or Emma born in 1875. At least he had some interest in the family at one point in their lives and Jessie was given the impression that Henry was her father too.

I could not find a listing for 18 year old Alfred in Middlesex or London counties in the 1891 census under the surname of Bradford, Stanton, Hatton or Hatson. In addition I could not find Alfred Bradford anywhere in England in neither the 1901 nor the 1911 census.

Author Note: I believe that Alfred Bradford's birth date of 19 June 1872 is incorrect. I don't know the last name of the Henry listed but don't think it's Bradford. His name could be Henry Stanton who is reported to live at 51 Grove Street during the 1871 census. Henry may have been the father of Alfred born in 1873 or Alfred's younger sister Emma born in 1875. At least he had some interest in the family at one point in their lives and Alfred's sister, Jessie, was given the impression that Henry was her father as well.

Author Note: I believe that Alfred's birth date of 10 March 1873 is correct. I don't know the last name of the Thomas listed but he is possibly Alfred's older brother Thomas Bradford.

Author Note: Although I believe the year to be close and the information accurate, to date I have not found a death record for Emma in or around 1938 in Somersetshire or anywhere else.

Contained in the records of the London Metropolitan Archives, London, England is the London, England Workhouse Admission and Discharge Records. Within those records is a listing in the Homerton Workhouse for Emma Bradford during 1884. That listing is as follows. ADMISSIONS. Names. Female Child (Emma Bradford) Age. 9 Last Residence before Admission. Lost Child Condition. ~ Calling. Nil If Able-bodied. ~ By whose Order Admitted. Supt. Date of Admission. 14Feb ‘84 DISCHARGES Date of Discharge. 15 Feb ‘84 How or by whose Order Discharged. Taken by Friend Observations. Brought by Pb. 952

Author Note: There is no positive proof that this is daughter of Caroline Bradford, however, I believe the possibility exists. Her whereabouts during 1884 is not accounted for, her mother died in 1885 and may be sick at this time, and it appears that her brother, Alfred, was placed in the same workhouse a few months before. More evidence is needed as positive proof. I enter the record here at this time to make any researcher who follows me aware of its existence.

John William Bradford is listed as deceased at the time of the marriage of his son, Albert Edward Bradford, on 6 November 1920. John's profession is listed as a printer.

Provided by the East London Cemetery, Grange Road, Plaistow, England

A visit to the cemetery on 26 May 1998 revealed the following. The graveyard was opened in 1874. The graves of John and James Bradford were in the public area of the graveyard. That area is reserved for those who cannot afford to buy a plot. During World War II, a train yard next to the graveyard became a target in a bombing raid by the German Air Force. Some of the bombs fell on the graveyard, destroying most all of the graves in the public area near the train yard, including those of John and James Bradford. The bomb blasts were so strong that some of the rail cars were blown up into the graveyard. After the wreckage was cleared, the ground was found to be very disturbed. It was determined that, under the circumstances, all that could be done was level off the disturbed area and fill it to a six foot higher level. New graves now occupy that ground. The only record of the old graves exists in the cemetery’s books. The listing for John Bradford indicates that he was buried in grave 18338. He died on 1 April 1920 and was 60 years old. He was at the Union Infirmary, Leytonstone, England when he died. The Union Infirmary is associated with the Union Workhouse in Leytonstone.

Provided by the 1871 British Census

In the 1871 British census which is contained in the files of the Public Record Office of England, RG10 536, page 11, folio 33, on 58 Devonshire St, St George in the East, London (Tower Hamlets) is listed the following Caroline Bremont, head, female widow, age 40 (abt. 1831), a hawker, born in Maidstone, Kent Thomas Bremont, son, unmarried, age 22 (abt. 1849), railway porter, born in Mitcham, Surrey Caroline Bremont, daughter, unmarried, age 12 (about 1859), born in Maidstone, Kent

In the 1881 British census which is contained in the files of the Public Record Office of England, RG11, Piece 0454, Folio 103, page 8 living at 123 Cornwall Street, St George in the East, London, Middlesex, England are the following people all born in London, Middlesex, England John Bradford, head, married, age 21 (about 1860), unemployed gen.laborer Alice Bradford, wife, married, age 21 (about 1860) John Bradford, son, age 1 (about 1880) Thomas Bradford, son age 3 months (about 1881) Emily Bradford, daughter, age 4 months (about 1880)

Author Note: There's something odd about the age of Emily and Thomas being one month apart. It appears that Emily is actually the daughter of John's brother, Thomas Samuel Bradford. Her age is actually 4 years.

Also residing at 123 Cornwall Street during the 1881 census is the following household John Shrimpton, head, married, male, age 40 (abt. 1841), labourer at rope factory, born in Rotherhithe, Surrey Louisa Shrimpton, wife, married, female, age 32 (abt. 1849), born in London, Middlesex John Shrimpton, son, unmarried, male, age 16 (abt. 1865), labourer at rope factory, born in London, Middlesex Elizabeth Aleck, lodger, married, female, age 28 (abt. 1853), laundress, born in London, Middlesex

Author note: Louisa Shrimpton's first husband, William Berry, died in 1863 and Louisa took up living with John Shrimpton. As is the custom in those days, the children assumed the surname of the "new father."

Also in the 1881 census, residing at 109 Cornwall Street, St George in the East, London, Middlesex, England are the following people Caroline Bradford, head, widow, age 46 (about 1835), poultry dealer, born in Maidstone, Kent, England James Bradford, son, age 17 (about 1864), born in London, Middlesex, England William Bradford, son, age 15 (about 1866), born in London, Middlesex, England Jessie Bradford, daughter, age 10 (about 1871), born in London, Middlesex, England Alfred Bradford, son, age 8 (about 1873), born in London, Middlesex, England Emma Bradford, age 6 (about 1875), born in London, Middlesex, England.

Also in the census, residing at 38 Spenser Street, St George in the East, London, England is the following person Thomas Bradford, lodger, widower, age 29 (about 1852), widowed dock laborer, born in Whitechapel, Middlesex, England.

Author Note: I believe that Caroline, who is living right down the street at 109 Cornwall Street, is the mother of John William Bradford. I also believe that the Thomas Bradford, who is living a couple blocks away at 38 Spencer Street is the brother of John Bradford.

Author Note: John William Bradford is reported on the census to be born in Whitechapel during 1860. A search of the listings for the General Register Office from the March quarter of 1859 to the December quarter of 1861 produced four possibilities March quarter of 1859 Whitechapel volume 1c page 312, June quarter of 1859 Pancras volume 1b page 61, June quarter of 1860 Whitechapel volume 1c page 318, and December quarter of 1861 Marylebone volume 1a page 484. I ordered the certificates for the births occurring in Whitechapel during the March quarter of 1859 and the June quarter of 1860. I found that they are not Thomas and Caroline Bradford's children. I hired researchers in England to search the records for several years before, during and after 1860. They found no record of the birth of my John William Bradford. From the research that has been done, I conclude that John William Bradford's birth wasn't recorded.

Contained in the files of the Public Record Office of England are the service records of British soldier’s pension records for the period surrounding World War I. Within those records is that of John William Bradford. The following is a summary of the contents of those pages.

John William Bradford’s attestation paper was completed in London on the 7th day of October 1914. In it he indicates that he was born in the parish of Whitechapel, town of London and county of Middlesex, England. He states that he is a widowed 44 year old dock labourer.

Author Note: He had lied about his age to get into the service. John was actually 54 years old.

At the time of his enlistment John was 5 feet 1 ¾ inches tall, weighed 120 lbs., had a ruddy fair complexion, grey blue eyes and grey hair. He had a wart between his shoulders, a birth mark on his left calf and a scar on the right side of his forehead. He indicated that he is a member of the Church of England. He was found fit for military service.

John was assigned to the Army Service Corps and his regiment number is SS2197. During his enlistment he was sent to France as part of the Expeditionary Force. He stated that his deceased wife’s name is Alice Frances Berry and that they were married at St. James Parish Church, Bethnal Green on 25 December 1878.

Author Note: Given how old John claimed to be when joining the Army that would have made him 7 or 8 years old when he married Alice.

John indicated that his next of kin is his daughter Nellie Bradford, 126 Liverpool Road, Canning Town and that she was born 24 September 1892 at St. Georges.

During his time in service, John was charged several times for drunkenness and bringing spirits into camp.

After serving a period of time in France, John began complaining of being weak and down. They eventually discharged him on 2 October 1916 as physically unfit because of his debility and age. He served 1 year and 361 days and was awarded a pension.

A medallion was issued to the surviving family members of a military person killed during WWI. This medallion is commonly referred to as a Death Penny because of its shape and similarity to the old English penny. However, the diameter of a death penny is about six inches. During the fall of 2008 the Death Penny for John W. H. Bradford came up for auction on the internet auction site in England known as Ebay/UK. I bid over $100 to acquire the penny but was out bid in the final seconds of the auction by someone that seems to be a collector who resides in the New York, USA area. In a further attempt to acquire my ancestor's death penny I tried to contact the successful bidder several times. My messages went unanswered.

During my quest to acquire the penny, I contacted the fellow that had it up for sale and he told me how he came to acquire it. He had a space in a boot market in Essex, England and bought the death penny from a young couple who had brought it to the boot market to sell. A boot market is where you buy and sell items out of the trunk (boot) of your car and is commonly referred to as a flea market in the USA. I asked if he knew the young couple and he indicated that he didn't.

158 Details of the Albert Edward Bradford and Rose Hannah Kelly Family

Author Note: To follow the Kelly/Kelley family line refer to the book Camp, Devile, Fish Kelley, Longfellow, Osborne, Ross, Wood and Collateral Ancestors of Edward. D Bradford.

Provided by Joyce (Bradford) Milbourne on 29 August 1995 and 12 May 1999

The family moved from England some time between October 1922 and February 1923. They entered the United States through Ellis Island, New York. They first lived in Swissvale, Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. They then moved to Ardmore and then to a farm located between Purchase Line and Dixonville in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. The farm was a little over 2 miles from Dixonville. They left there in 1941 and moved to 130 Kells Avenue, Newark, Delaware.

While in England, Rose worked as a millner. Albert was having problems finding work right after the war which prompted them to move to America.

During the trip from England, Rose, who was pregnant with Joyce at the time, became so gravely ill that they thought she had died because they could feel no pulse. They were preparing to bury her at sea when one of the sailors came up with idea of holding a mirror to her mouth to check for respiration. It was quickly discovered that she was still alive and began applying the necessary medical attention, thus adverting a tradgedy.

They came to Swissvale, Pennsylvania by following Jim, Joe and Jack Kelley to America. While there in Swissvale, Albert worked for Westinghouse. The eventual move to Dixonville was prompted by the near abduction of Joyce when she was 5 years old. Albert commuted to the Pittsburgh area to continue his employment. He stayed with Westinghouse for nearly 20 years when, within months of retirement, he was layed off which prevented him from qualifying for the retirement money.

Albert was never fond of the horses and cows they had the whole time they lived on the farm. He would send Denny (Albert Dennis Bradford) and Joyce to tend to them and harness the horses when needed.

After graduation from high school in 1938, Denny went to work for the Pennsylvania Railroad in Wilmington, Delaware. A couple years later, in 1940, Joyce graduated and went to work for the telephone company in Pittsburg. Nellie, missing her big sister, quit eating. After a week, Joyce was summoned home for the weekend by her father and upon her arrival, Nellie resumed eating. When Joyce departed to return to work in Pittsburgh, she again quit eating. This went on for several weeks until Albert asked Joyce to quit work and come home which she did. Shortly there after, the death Jim Kelley prompted Joyce to move to Newark, Delaware to help out Jim's wife, Sarah. Nellie again became a problem which forced Albert and Rose to rent out the farm and also move to Newark.

Provided in a letter from Joyce (Bradford) Milbourne dated 4 June 2007

In answer to my questions about the farm outside of Dixonville, Pennsylvania owned by Albert and Rose Bradford during the 1930s, Aunt Joy wrote the following.

"We bought the farm right after Daddy got laid off from Westinghouse. He only had 2 months to go to retire with pension for 20 yrs service. That way they didn't have to pay him his retirement pay. They did that a lot at that time. So he bought a 42 acre farm so we could at least eat.

We had 1 pig, 7 chickens, 2 ducks, 1 cow and a heifer that I raised for the 4H Club. I won 1st prize on it at the fair and traded it for a race horse. Mom and Dad almost had a heart attack when I came riding home on the horse. Mother got real up set but Daddy said 'Well Rose it was her heifer. She raised him.' I entered him in the county races and won quite often so helped with the money at least. We had my horse and another one we could use for farming."

"We used to set the duck eggs under the hens to hatch. Poor chicken went crazy when the ducks went swimming in the pond. We also had a pet muskrat who set up on his hind legs and pealed a banana.

The farm was 42 acres and was 2 1/2 miles from reg. school and 6 miles from high school. We rode my horse to grade school and sent him home. Mother let him in the barn when he got home and sent him back to school at 3PM to pick us up. He was a good horse.

We had Daddy's old Hudson car which he jacked up the back wheel and put a belt to the wheel and on to the motor of the washer. Ran good. Sure helped with the wash.

In the winter it was cold. No heat only a fireplace. So we all slept by the fire to keep warm. Wasn't the easiest sleeping but we were warm.

My father was afraid of the horse due to a friend and him coming home from school in England and throwing a ball at the horse hurting him. Finally the kid climbed the fence to get the ball and the horse stomped him to death. Daddy didn't like horses much after that.

167 As for grade school, we had a 1 room school with 8 grades. There was 1 teacher for all 8 grades. Maybe 2 or 3 in each class. You learned fast because you listened to the other grades.

For movies we had to go 7 miles to Dixonville. Den (Albert Dennis Bradford) and I would walk down to go to the movies. Cost 10 cents for him and 1 cent for me because I was his buddy. It was called Buddy Nite. Then we had to walk home 7 miles. He'd carry me piggyback part way up the hill. He was a good brother. Always looked after me."

Author Note: The Bradfords came to the USA in 1922. They moved to the farm sometime in the 1930s and relocated to Newark, Delaware about 1944. The years that Albert worked at Westinghouse doesn't add up to near 20. It seems that near 10 years would be more like the actual time span.

The family tree for Joyce Bradford and Robert Edward Milbourne was supplied in letters and conversations with Joyce Milbourne.

Provided in a letter from Joyce (Bradford) Milbourne dated 4 June 2007

In answer to my questions about the farm outside of Dixonville, Pennsylvania owned by Albert and Rose Bradford during the 1930s, Aunt Joy wrote the following.

"We used to set the duck eggs under the hens to hatch. Poor chicken went crazy when the ducks went swimming in the pond. We also had a pet muskrat who set up on his hind legs and pealed a banana.

We had Daddy's old Hudson car which he jacked up the back wheel and put a belt to the wheel and on to the motor of the washer. Ran good. Sure helped with the wash.

In the winter it was cold. No heat only a fireplace. So we all slept by the fire to keep warm. Wasn't the easiest sleeping but we were warm.

As for grade school, we had a 1 room school with 8 grades. There was 1 teacher for all 8 grades. Maybe 2 or 3 in each class. You learned fast because you listened to the other grades.

Provided in a telephone conversation with Joy (Bradford) Milbourne in the fall of 2008

173 During the late fall of 2008 after the Presidential election had taken place I had a telephone conversation with my Aunt Joy. I mentioned the recent election and asked how she felt about the new Vice President, Joe Biden, who was from Delaware. To my amazement she said that she used to iron his shirts. When I asked how that came about she said that after her and her husband Robert Milbourne (Uncle Bob) sold their beach properties on Fenwick Island, Delaware and moved back to Wilmington, Delaware, she was looking for something to do and decided to do house cleaning. Joe Biden employed her. While in his employ he asked if she would do his shirts. He said that the laundry put in too much starch and his wife wouldn't do them. She agreed to iron them.

Provided by Helen Louise (Dean) Bradford 14 September 1995

Albert Dennis Bradford and Helen Louise Dean were married on 19 September 1942. At the beginning of their marriage, Helen lived with her parents, William and Margaret Dean off of Paper Mill Road, Newark, Delaware while Albert served in the armed forces. Edward Dennis Bradford was born on 26 May 1944 while living here.

When Albert returned from Europe in 1945, after serving in the U.S. Army, they moved to a first floor apartment in community called Shipside near Wilmington, Delaware. Albert was employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad. After only a few months they moved to an apartment off of Paper Mill Road, just down from her parents. While living here, William Dean Bradford was born on 5 May 1947. In 1949 they moved to a double house in the same row of houses off of Paper Mill Road.

In 1950 They bought a house at 2003 Lincoln Avenue, Gwinhurst, Wilmington, Delaware. While residing here, a son, Kerrey Richard Bradford, was born on 10 April 1954 and a son, Wayne Allen Bradford, was born on 21 November 1955.

A job transfer forced them to move to 821 Bradley Road, Joppatowne, Maryland in December 1962. Another job transfer caused them to move back to Delaware. This time they bought a house at 114 Nevada Avenue, Shipley Heights, Wilmington, Delaware on 9 September 1964.

Over the years, corporate mergers and government takeovers took place with the Pennsylvania Railroad. Albert retired from a government run rail service called Amtrak. He passed away on 22 May 1990.

In answer to my questions about the farm outside of Dixonville, Pennsylvania owned by Albert and Rose Bradford during the 1930s, Aunt Joy wrote the following.

"We used to set the duck eggs under the hens to hatch. Poor chicken went crazy when the ducks went swimming in the pond. We also had a pet muskrat who set up on his hind legs and pealed a banana.

We had Daddy's old Hudson car which he jacked up the back wheel and put a belt to the wheel and on to the motor of the washer. Ran good. Sure helped with the wash.

In the winter it was cold. No heat only a fireplace. So we all slept by the fire to keep warm. Wasn't the easiest sleeping but we were warm.

As for grade school, we had a 1 room school with 8 grades. There was 1 teacher for all 8 grades. Maybe 2 or 3 in each class. You learned fast because you listened to the other grades.

194 The Bremont Family

195 The Bremont Family Research

I have just begun to focus on this recently discovered family. I've found them in Kent, England. The family seems to just appear in Kent. It seems that at some point a portion of the family moved to Middlesex, England. The records on this family have been difficult to locate. The name seems to be native to France but I have found no information that ties my line to that area. It is very possible that they moved to another country about the 1840s. The threads that I've found which tie this family together are loosely woven. More collaborating data is needed to bind this family together.

The earliest ancestors in line are William Erickson Bremont who is married to Mary Santry. I found them through the birth of their son William. Since I have found no other Bremonts in the England at that time, I've assumed that they are also Caroline's parents. More proof is needed to confirm this. The Santry surname seems to be from the Cork area of Ireland. This may perhaps be a lead to their origin.

The next ancestor is my great great grandmother, Caroline Bremont, who was born about 1831 in Maidstone, Kent, England. Later in life, Caroline is reporting that she was born in 1835. It appears that she never married my great great grandfather, Thomas Bradford. Thomas died in January of 1871 and Caroline reported the family surname as Bremont on the census later that year. In earlier and later census the family surname is reported as Bradford. Caroline died in the St. George in the East Infirmary during 1885. Her death certificate lists her last name as Bremont.

A lot of the information I have on this family is single sourced. I prefer to have multiple sources for confirmation. I feel that more research needs to be done to ensure the accuracy of what I've already found.

202 Details of the Caroline Bremont and Thomas Bradford Family

Author Note: I have not found any record of a marriage between Caroline Bremont and Thomas Bradford although they lived together as husband and wife until Thomas' death in 1871. I've included here only the records that I have found that cover the period of time from 1871 onwards. For records concerning Caroline prior to Thomas' death see Thomas Bradford in this book.

Provided by the 1871 British Census

Provided by the 1881 British Census

Also nearby are Caroline's sons; residing at 38 Spenser Street is Thomas Bradford and at 123 Cornwall Street is the family of John Bradford.

Provided by the death certificate of Caroline Bremont

203 is listed as 46 years old which would put her birth about 1835. Caroline Bremont's birth would also be about 1835. I find that Caroline Bremont is in the right area of London, her last name is the same as the maiden name of Caroline Bradford, I have found no record of Caroline Bradford after the 1881 census, and the birth dates are reported to be in the same year. Also, in the 1871 census, Caroline listed the family's last Name as Bremont when other census and birth records have them as Bradford. Although there is not conclusive proof, I feel that there is enough circumstantial evidence for me to draw the conclusion that the two Carolines are probably one and the same. I'm listing Caroline Bradford's death as 11 February 1885 but I'll continue to look for further evidence that proves or disproves my assumption.

Author Note: For further information on Caroline Bremont, see the listing under her husband, Thomas Bradford, in this book.

272 The Stokes Family

273 The Stokes Family Research

I have just begun to focus on this recently discovered family. I've found them in Essex and Middlesex, England. The threads that I've found which tie this family together are loosely woven. More collaborating data is needed to bind this family together.

The earliest Stokes ancestor that I've discovered was found in the Ancestral Files of the LDS Church Family History Center. The ancestor is Robert Stokes who was born about 1736 in Great Dunmow, Essex, England. During 1765 he married Prudence Bull and during 1808 he died.

William Stokes is the son of Robert and Prudence. He was probably born in 1772. William is listed as the father on the marriage certificate for John Stokes. He is also found in the Ancestral Files of the LDS Church. In the Ancestral files it shows that he married Sarah Thrugood during 1812.

The next Stokes ancestor in my line is John the son of William. John was born about 1818 in Dunmow, Essex, England. He married Louisa Willis at St. George in the East, Middlesex, England during 1839. Both John and Louisa were living on Brook Street, Ratcliff at the time of the marriage. John died some time after March 1861.

The last Stokes in my direct line is Louisa Elizabeth Stokes who was born in Wapping, Middlesex, England during 1842. She married William Berry In Bethnal Green during 1859.

What I have on Robert and William needs to be collaborated. The others I have multiple sources confirming their relationships. Additional research needs to be done to advance the knowledge concerning this family and confirm what I've already discovered.

315 316 The Willis Family

317 The Willis Family Research

I have just begun to focus on this recently discovered family. I've found them in Middlesex, and on the Isle of Wight in England. The threads that I've found which tie this family together are loosely woven. More collaborating data is needed to bind this family together.

The earliest Willis ancestor that I have is William Willis who married a Elizabeth I estimate about 1775. William and Elizabeth are listed as the parents of of James.

The next Willis ancestor in my direct line is James Willis who was born during 1778. He is listed as the father of Louisa Willis on Louisa's marriage certificate and the son of William and Elizabeth.

Next is Louisa who's the daughter or James. She was born about 1816 in Middlesex, England. Louisa married John Stokes in St. George in the East during 1839. Both she and John were living on Brook Street, Ratcliff at the time of the marriage.

Some of the information I have on this family is single sourced and needs additional confirming information. Much more research needs to be done to bring out the details on this Willis line.
