Thank you all for the information, I'm believing I have 2 different Thomas's.
Over the many years I have been around I have always been asked am I related to Selwyn Featherston Toogood a NZ radio and TV personality, he descends from Thomas and Mary Simpson
I can know say NO I'm not, but who knows what might pop up.

Records for the 18th century show baptism dates.........only if the vicar made a specific note can you determine the birth date.

Which Thomas is your PROVEN, direct line?

You would have found that Eleanor was born in Hull if you’d looked at the census record. Free to all on familysearch https://www.familysearch.org/search/

The name Bradley is by no means uncommon

Thats all cool, has anyone worked out about the 2 Thomas's born on the same date but with different wives or are they different Thomas's as mentioned in the query.

Witnesses to that 1835 marriage posted by ArgyllGran -
John Bradbury or Bradburn and Jane Darley

John signs as witness on several other marriage records in the OPR so probably a Church official

Where was Eleanor born?

What have you done so far about trying to connect her with your known, proven, relatives named Bradley?

Craig

Craig Report 2 Aug 2023 21:52

Hi All
Working on Toogood's as above.
I have a Thomas Toogood born 11 July 1784 Marston Derby married Mary Simpson.
The children born range from 1803-1821
Thomas could possibly be a son of Jacob Toogood c.1758 bapt Tutbury married to Sarah Smith.
The only problem is a son to Jacob and Sarah Smith is also a Thomas Toogood b..11 July 1784 bapt Marston, Derby who married Sarah Meer.
The children born range from 1813-1827.
So if he married twice the age of children born don't work out right or are they 2 totally different Thomas's just born or baptised on the same date.
One son born to Mary Simpson I'm really interested in and that is Thomas 1806-1871 a chemist in HULL married to Eleanor Bradley in 1835 he left 1500 pounds to a son called Richard, love to connect her to the Bradley's I already have.
Can anyone help.

Craig
