Horseheath CO was Sir Donald's grandfather. V.F. Vithersfield The 1851 census for Vithersfield shows John and Lucy living at High Noon Lane with seven children. This house in due emigrated to New South Vales from Vithersfield in 1855. They course became the village post office and when Sir Donald lived near the Bradman family in a tenement at the junction visited the village in 1930 the house was still occupied by of the road to Great Vratting near the Fox Inn during the a relative - Mrs Tillbrooke, a niece of his grandfather (she 1830-40s and later near the Vhite Horse. They knew the was born a 'Bradman') Bradman family well and contact was maintained after arrival in Australia. My William Cornell's cousin Martha Anna Charles Bradman I C] emigrated to Australia as a young man of Cornell married Sir Donald's great grandfather's brother 18 in early 1852. He was the eldest son of John and Lucy and William at Vithersfield on April 10th 1879. baptised at Vithersfield on May 26th 1833. At the time of his emigration he too was an agricultural labourer. During An excellent book for further reading on Sir Donald's life this period East Anglia was in the grip of the great and cricketing career is 'Sir Donald Bradman -A Biography', agricultural depression and many groups of agricultural published by B.

Batsford, London, 1978, from which "some workers banded together to go to Australia, anxious to of the information, in this article is drawn. divorce themselves from a life of agricultural serfdom. The number of emigrants claimed by Australia in 1852 was 95,000, most making for the Victorian goldfields, though some 9,OS J| % V Cornel1. went to lew South Vales, Charles Bradman being one of there. He spent the rest of his days a New South Welshman. In 1860 Charles married Elizabeth Biffen at Berrima near Mittagong in the southern highlands of Mew South Vales and they eventually settled at Jindalee seme 7 miles north of Cootaraundra, Sir Donald's father, George, being born at Cootamundra on November 29th 1875. Sir Donald never knew his emigrant grandfather for he died at the age of 74 in October 1907 at Jindalee, ten months before Donald was born. His father, George, ID) married at the age of 17 to Emily Whatman in 1893. The Whatman family origins go back to Brede in Sussex. Donald's mother died in 1944 at Mittagong and his father in 1961 at Berrima. Sir Donald and Lady -Bradraan live in Adelaide, South Austria and still take a very active interest in cricket. Cambridgeshire has also produced a number of other gre^t cricketers of the 19th century, Thomas Rayward and Robe. K) Carpenter who, along with Diver, Tarrant and Buttress, all helped the County for many years to be one of the strongest in England, A far cry from today as a 'minor county'. Thomas Hayward Jnr. .was the first man after V. G. Grace to score a hundred centuries. The greatest century maker of then all, John Berry Hobbs, was also born in Cambridgeshire, so by geographical accident the two master batsmen of the 20th century are linked together. My own interest in the Bradman family is through the Vithersfield connection. My great grandfather William Cornell and his wife Harriet Farrant (of Haverhill) BROMLEY OF HORSEHEATH Arms.
